New Delhi, Oct 1 (IANS) The Delhi Metro Sarthi app has emerged as the Delhi Metro network’s premier ticketing solution provider, with over one crore downloads and close to 20 lakh views in the Delhi NCR in a month, an official said on Thursday.
The app opens 8.2 lakh times every week (weekdays), establishing itself as a reliable ticketing option for Metro commuters, said Anuj Dayal, Principal Executive Director, Corporate Communications, DMRC, in a statement.

The app integrates various transport services, including DTC buses, train bookings through IRCTC, interstate bus bookings, NCRTC’s Namo Bharat and NMRC’s Noida Metro. This integration lets commuters access different modes of public transport through a single platform, he said.
The app also provides everyday commuter facilities such as Metro maps, first and last Metro timings, parking information, station facilities, EV charging stations, and battery-swapping stations, along with route guidance, the statement said.
