The Delhi Metro has briefly expanded the ceiling of smartcard recharge from Rs 1,000 to Rs 2,000 from Sundaybecause of lack of short change taking after demonetisation.
The office will be accessible until December 31, DMRC said in an announcement. The move will staff who man the ticket counters and in addition the commuters, the DMRC said.
"The choice to expand the most extreme top up the point of confinement has been brought with a view to encouraging the suburbanites who may accompany new coin notes of Rs 2,000 to best up their shrewd cards. With the present most extreme top up a roof of Rs 1,000, it would have made the issue in the accessibility of satisfactory cash notes for travelers and money to be come back to such travelers, particularly in perspective of lack of new Rs 500 currency note of," a representative with Delhi Metro said.
DMRC expects that by December 31, there will be sufficient currency of different divisions, uniquely Rs 500, the authority said. About 70 percent of Metro's day by day commuters, averaging around 27-30 lakh day by day, are smartcard clients. The Metro system enrolls around two lakh best ups every day.
