Tokens will be back for Metro Railway passengers from Thursday, the carrier said.
“Tokens are going to be re-introduced in North-South and East-West Metro from November 25. These tokens will be issued from the counters of all the stations,” Metro Railway said in a statement on Monday.
Tokens were suspended from March 2020 to combat the spread of the coronavirus. Even when Metro services resumed — last year and this year — only smart card holders were allowed to board the trains.
In March this year, the authorities had planned to bring back the token system but the second wave of Covid forced them to abort the plan.
