To further manage the anticipated crowd, the DMRC will also deploy extra personnel at key metro stations. These staff members will operate additional ticket counters to expedite ticketing and reduce wait times for passengers.

The DMRC has encouraged passengers to use digital options to purchase tickets, thereby avoiding queues at ticket counters. Commuters can use mobile apps like DMRC Momentum 2.0, WhatsApp, Paytm, One Delhi, and Amazon to buy QR tickets online.

On the day of Raksha Bandhan, guards and customer facilitation agents (CFA) will be stationed at major metro stops to assist and guide passengers, ensuring a seamless travel experience during the festive rush.
