“One would be able to travel by Rapid Metro with Delhi Metro travel cards and tokens. We are putting in place a system through which collected fare would be shared,” said Anuj Dayal, spokesperson, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC).

A spokesperson of Gurgaon Rapid Metro said: “This integrated system would add to the convenience of users of both Delhi Metro and Rapid Metro.”

Delhi transport minister Ramakant Goswami said: “We are planning common ticketing for the two (Delhi Metro and Monorail).”

The common mobility card, ‘More Card’ — which DMRC launched in August and which provides common mobility facilities in Metro and 10 feeder buses — can be used as interoperable tickets in these systems.
