Key Differences
The Multiple Journey QR Ticket (MJQRT) differs from a normal QR ticket in several key aspects:
- MJQRT: Designed for multiple journeys, allowing users to travel multiple times without needing to purchase a new ticket for each journey.
- Normal QR Ticket: Typically intended for single journeys, requiring passengers to buy a new ticket for each trip.
Recharge and Balance:
- MJQRT: Users start with an initial recharge (minimum ₹150) and can maintain a balance up to ₹3,000, allowing for seamless travel across multiple journeys.
- Normal QR Ticket: Usually requires a one-time payment for each journey, with no balance or recharge feature.
Discounts:
- MJQRT: Offers discounts of 10% during peak hours and 20% during off-peak hours, making it more economical for frequent travelers.
- Normal QR Ticket: Typically does not provide discounts.
App Integration:
- MJQRT: Available exclusively through the DMRC’s Delhi Metro Sarathi (Momentum 2.0) app, which allows users to manage their journeys and recharges digitally.
- Normal QR Ticket: This can often be purchased at stations or through different apps but does not integrate with a balance system.
Security Features:
- MJQRT: In case of theft or loss of the mobile device, the remaining balance is retained and can be accessed from another device.
- Normal QR Ticket: Generally does not have any such feature, as it is a one-time use ticket.
With the launch of MJQRT, DMRC reaffirms its dedication to enhancing passenger experiences through digital innovation, making metro travel more convenient and environment friendly.
