Delhi Metro suffers over Rs 5 crore loss due to missing tokens

December 05, 2012 14:23

Delhi Metro commuters are so fond of their contactless tokens that they take them home without depositing them at the counter while exiting, resulting in a loss of over Rs 5 crore since 2009 to the new age transport system.

Though announcements are made regularly at stations that taking away tokens is a punishable offence, commuters continue to either carry them or lose them during their journey on Delhi Metro.

Union Minister of State for Urban Development Deepa Dasmunsi told Lok Sabha today that Delhi Metro suffered loses of Rs 5.6 crore since 2009 due to lost or stolen tickets.
