New Delhi : After Delhi Metro rides got costlier from Tuesday, the commuters are a little disappointed and have said that they might want to shift to other modes of transport.

“The fare has increased suddenly and substantially. I wish it had been done in a phased manner. People might shift to other modes of transport now,” a Delhi Metro commuter told ANI.

“The Delhi Metro fare hike will affect my budget by Rs. 700, but if we want facilities similar to America, then we’ll have to pay,” another metro commuter said.


One of the commuters said that even after paying the hiked price, people suffer.

“The authorities say that the Metro is running in losses, but while travelling, we have witnessed that there is no space in the Metro to even step in. There is no improvement in facilities, but the fares are hiked,” he said.
