Delhi Metro Rail Corporation [Dmrc] — fare hike

Dear dmrc,

This is really ridiculous that you have increased the fare by so much. The reason you gave after first hike is that to meet maintenance and staff salary the fare has been increased. But to my surprise i donot find any change in maintenance so i too wonder whether staffs has been benefited or not. I am a regular passenger and paying 80rs per day (Dilshad-garden-netaji subhash place) just for metro other than other mode of transport i use to reach home. I donot think india has become so much rich. Everyday standing in queue wasting 15-20 mins, then delay in service and then going through security check which makes me laugh at myself that i am a part of india which in name of security you just waste the common man time. The goverment employees are getting 400& hike in salary so i think they can afford the fare hike but what about private employees who in name of salary just getting peanuts. Just think what are doing to common man??? How do we manage our daily life?? Also think metro door donot open at the doorstep of home, we have to pay other charges like rickshaw, bike, car, petrol, parking charges etc to reach home.

Being a woman i agree that metro is the most safe way to travel in city like delhi but you just cannot play with our emotions and take us for granted.

Thanks,
