Metro Ticketing System.. atlast charted out..
Posted by Prashanth | Filed under Uncategorized
So today I had the chance to visit IITF (Indian International Trade Fair) which is being held at Pragati Maidan in Delhi..
Well the fare was ok.. although i found nothing more interesting than tasting food from different regions of India. But the best part of today’s outing was.. my Chachu.. who wanted to see the Delhi Metro.
Since a metro station is already there outside Pragati Maidan (click this), I decided that we would go to Central Secratariat from there and from there.. back home..
But after we got the tokens or entry coins from the uncomputerised clerk, we decidied to go to Dwarka Sector-9 and come back. The ticketer refused to take back those tokens and compelled us to buy new ones (what rules..??). We just did that and that later helped us out..
We went till Sector-9 Dwarka in the metro train which was above the surface in the most of the route. Then.. we thought of playing a prank. Since all metro coins look identical and are taken out randomly from the same heap, i thought there would be no demarkation to differentiate between destinations.
And was I right or what.. we used the same coins that we bought accidently to go to Central Sec. (in Pragati Maidan) to actually go to Rajiv Chowk. The guys didn’t know a thing..!!
Then in Rajiv Chowk (Connaught Place) we got down from the train had a cup of corn in the Hot n’ Juicy outlet over there on the platform and then used the same coins to go to Central Sec. where i returned it back to the metro dept.
So, the lesson learnt is.. When you hop on the metro the next time, buy the cheapest ticket and go to the farthest place possible. You dont need to return the tokens back until you want to get out of the station. Just wait for a restaurant to be constructed in the Rajiv Chowk platform and then u can have a ride from Rohini to Dwarka via Rajiv Chowk and hav lunch there.. hop on the next train and then reach Dwarka in 10Rs.. quite cheap right..??
Remember.. unless you want to get out of the station, you dont need to hand over the tokens. I just hope DMRC dont realize this.
