Abstract

Metro is the transportation medium where people are travelling faster on compared to other medium, though it matches our daily life accordingly, we even face a problem regarding purchase of tickets before entering the metro and the ticket for sure to be stamped is also a constraint to travel in metro trains. For the convenience of customers, there are three choices for ticket purchase. The RFID tokens are valid only for a single journey on the day of purchase and the value depends on the distance travelled. Fares are calculated based on the origin and destination stations using a fare chart. Travel cards are available for longer durations and are most convenient for frequent commuters. A deposit is to be made to buy a new card which is refundable on the return of the card any time before its expiry if the card is not physically damaged. Tourist cards can be used for unlimited travel on the over short periods of time. There are two kinds of tourist cards valid for one and three days respectively.
