The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has plans to replace Closed Loop Delhi Metro Smart Cards with Open Loop National Common Mobility Cards (NCMC) in a phased manner, the government informed the Parliament on Monday.
The DRMC has started running 20 extra train trips across its network as air quality in Delhi and its surrounding areas plunged to "severe" category.
Delhi Metro is already running 40 additional train trips on weekdays (Monday-Friday) from October 25 onwards when the GRAP-II stage came into force, a DMRC spokesperson said
The three-day event is being organised by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs through the Institute of Urban Transport (India) and with the support of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd from October 27-29 in the national capital.
A DMRC spokesperson had said on Tuesday that this has been planned to intensify the use of public transport among passengers across Delhi-NCR.
