Purchase Your Token or Metro Card

First of all, buy a token or a ticket from a counter. You can also generate a token from the machines present on all metro stations nowadays. If you are planning to travel frequently by metro, better you go for a metro card, which will save your overall time on a regular basis.

• Your baggage will be checked for fraudulent articles if any. Also, get yourself checked by the security guards.

• Proceed to the platform where your train will arrive and wait for your train.

• Just when the train arrives, enter carefully.

• Be cautious of the announcement of the impending stations.

• Get out patiently without hurting yourself or others.

• On your way to exit from a metro station, drop the token in the machine itself. If you are using the metro card, scan your card over the available detector and get through.

• Do not drop your token anywhere during the journey. You may be penalized for the same.

• Do not carry heavy luggage in the due course of making the most of it. You may find difficulty in carrying them all over.
