In a significant move towards digitization, Delhi Metro has collaborated with PeLocal Fintech Private Limited to introduce a WhatsApp-based ticketing system. This new service is available in both English and Hindi, covering all 12 metro lines in the Delhi-NCR region. The integration of this technology not only modernizes the metro experience but also opens avenues for future technological enhancements, including real-time updates, personalized travel recommendations, and integrated fare plans.
