At the same time, the DMRC will optimise its resources while reinforcing its commitment to environmentally friendly transport solutions.

In a print advertisement, the Delhi Transport Department said: “Great news for the people of Delhi! Metro card is now valid on all DTC and cluster buses.”

“With this step, travel of commuters on Metro and DTC buses will become smoother. A pilot project in this regard has been a success. Now, it will be applicable to all the buses,” a government official told IANS.
This will also popularise commuting on public buses among Metro users.
“I board a bus to reach my office after getting down at the nearest Metro station. This arrangement will be of great help to me,” said a 25-year-old professional.
In January, the government had launched the pilot project on use of Metro cards to pay fares on around 250 buses.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation had integrated the common mobility card with its feeder buses and a few parking lots.
