Namma Metro travellers can start buying tickets for a maximum of six passengers in a family or group using the Mobile QR ticketing system from November 16.
A release from the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) on Friday said there was demand for the same from passengers. The Hindu had reported about the BMRCL’s plan on November 6.
The BMRCL release said the family/group travelling together using the QR system can avail a discount of 5% on the token fare. “Passengers using this facility will receive one single QR ticket encrypted with the number of passengers. This QR ticket has to be scanned once for each passenger of the group for entry and exit,” said the release, encouraging passengers to book in advance to avoid the rush at the station.
