Delhi Metro launches tourist smart card for G20

The Delhi Metro said that special G20 counters have been set up at select Metro stations across its network that will issue its “Tourist Smart Cards” from September 4 to 13, for delegates and tourists visiting the city during the G20 Summit to be held next week, officials said.

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) officials on Sunday said that dedicated G20 counters have been set up at 36 Metro stations. Tourists can take unlimited trips across the Delhi Metro network using these cards which are already available in two categories — of one-day and three-day validity, officials said, adding that even locals can purchase these smart cards. These cards, however, won’t be valid along the Airport Express Line (AEL).

The one-day validity cards will cost ₹200 while the three-day validity cards will be available for ₹500, officials said, adding that this amount also includes a refundable security deposit of ₹50.
