Noida Metro | NMRC Passenger Smart card to be linked with DMRC

Noida: Officials of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) met on Tuesday to work out the modalities of the plan after having granted a nod to the seamless card integration for the 29km Noida-Greater Noida corridor last week. Officials say while the technical aspects of the concept have been resolved, the plan is yet to be fine-tuned.

NMRC officials told TOI that senior officials of DMRC including executive director (S&T) Prashant Rao participated in the meeting. Under the seamless card integration plan, a passenger will be able to avail of Metro rail, city bus and other transport facilities with just a single token or smart card. “The card or token will be valid for both Delhi and Noida, Greater Noida cities,” said a senior NMRC official. Officials also studied a similar plan being used by the Kochi Metro.

“However, the Kochi Metro is a closed loop just like Delhi Metro and we want it to be an open loop so that the card or token is also used in food courts and Metro stations, etc,” the official said. The fare collection system of NMRC will be integrated with that of Delhi Metro for the convenience of the travelling public.


Hyderabad Metro | Commercial operations of Hyderabad Metro Rail’s will start on June 2

Hyderabad: Commercial operations of Hyderabad Metro Rail’s first phase will start on June 2, on the occasion of Telangana Formation Day. The state government is trying its best to get Prime Minister Narendra Modi to inaugurate the Metro Rail on the day.

Minister for municipal administration and urban development K.T. Rama Rao said on Thursday that all the required works, including tests and trials and certifications for the Metro, would be completed by then. The first phase includes Stage-1 from Nagole to Secunderabad railway station (about 9 km) under Corridor-III and stage-2 from Miyapur to SR Nagar (11.9 km) under Corridor-I.

A total of 20 km will be opened up for commercial operations on June 2. In fact, the Nagole-Mettuguda stretch (8 km) was complete and was meant to commence operations on Ugadi 2015 but was put on hold as there would have been revenue losses.

The state government and L&T then decided to extend the stretch up to the Secunderabad railway station. Currently, works between Mettuguda and Secunderabad are on.

The Miyapur and SR Nagar stretch, including the Bharatnagar Rail overbridge, was completed in 2015 and trial runs were held last October. During a test run in December 2015, Mr Rama Rao had announced that these stretches would be opened in early 2016.

The stretches that will be operational from June 2 have been ready for months but were delayed owing to several reasons. At present, 72 km of Metro lines are being constructed in three different corridors in the twin cities.

Mr Rama Rao, while announcing the 100-day action plan for the city said, “The state government authorities are on the job to get Prime Minister Narendra Modi to inaugurate the first phase. Further details will be announced by the Chief Minister once we get the green signal from the Centre.”
