Key measures by DMRC
- DMRC has partnered with school principals to inform them about the nearest metro stations to their respective schools, aimed at simplifying travel for students across Delhi.
- Posters featuring information about the closest metro stations and a QR code will be displayed in schools. This will make travel preparation easier by granting students immediate access to ticketing services via the QR code.
- DMRC will also make centralised announcements at metro stations to share important reminders and instructions, ensuring that students are well-informed and can navigate the system more efficiently.
- The official DMRC Momentum mobile app and website now offer a comprehensive list of metro stations closest to exam centres, enabling students to easily find the most convenient stations for their journeys.
Special priority for students
Students presenting their CBSE Admit Cards will be given priority at security checks across metro stations, allowing for quicker movement through the process and avoiding delays.
Students with admit cards will also receive priority when purchasing tickets at Ticket Office Machines (TOMs) and Customer Care (CC) centres, helping to reduce wait times during peak hours.
