The Delhi Metro will be observing the Smart Card Week from tomorrow to 15th of this month. This will promote and popularize extensive use of Contact less Smart Card, CSC, for its frequent travellers and tourists alike. During this week, Special CSC Counters will be made operational at 20 Metro stations having highest number of footfall. They include Rajiv Chowk, Kashmere Gate, Laxmi Nagar, Anand Vihar ISBT and Chandni Chowk. At present, over 60 per cent of Metro passengers are using Smart Cards on a regular basis. Delhi Metro spokesman Anuj Dayal said that DMRC intends to increase this figure substantially to a level similar to that of the other Metro systems like Singapore and Hong Kong where almost 100 per cent of Metro users are relying on Smart Cards for their smooth and comfortable daily journey. Presently, the Delhi Metro is used by over 15 lakh passengers on any working day on its six operational lines where more than 2500 train trips are made each day traversing over 69,000 kilometres in a day.
