Commonwealth Games tickets can be used on Delhi Metro

Commonwealth Games tickets can also be used as tickets for using the Delhi Metro system on specific dates and venues. So, visitors won't have to buy separate metro tickets.

The games tickets will be provided with special foils which will facilitate their travel by the Metro system, said a DMRC statement. The Commonwealth Games tickets, which will be date, venue and event specific, will have two detachable foils for up and down journey by the Metro. These foils will have the same unique serial numbers, which will be mentioned on the games ticket and will be valid for that venue and date only.

The manual gates at the stations will be used for the entry and exit of the commuters holding these games tickets. Guards and volunteers from DMRC will verify the foils by perforating them and will collect them from the commuters at the exit station.

The Delhi Metro is spread over 125 km network and carries about 1.1 million commuters.
