Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) delivered significant news to commuters travelling on the Delhi Metro on Friday. DMRC has integrated its ticketing service with the 'One Delhi' mobile app, making it easier for passengers to purchase tickets without waiting in line.

DMRC has stated that this initiative will allow passengers to travel without any hindrance. Anuj Dayal, the Managing Director of DMRC, mentioned in a statement that the 'One Delhi' app, currently being used for QR code ticketing for DTC buses, will now be integrated into the overall travel management system for Delhi Metro as well.
He mentioned that this integration has been facilitated with the collaboration of the 'Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (IIIT-D). This institute manages the 'One Delhi' application for the Delhi government.
Anuj Dayal stated that following this integration, passengers will enjoy the convenience of booking Delhi Metro and bus tickets using a single app.
He mentioned that travellers will no longer have the hassle of using different apps for bus and metro schedules or contacting various sources for route-related information.
It is worth noting that Delhi Metro sees daily travel by millions of passengers, many of whom are daily commuters to and from offices.
While some passengers possess travel cards, many others need to purchase tickets, leading to long queues.
Now, through this app, people can buy tickets directly on their mobile phones, providing relief from standing in line.
