First fare hike and now delays? Not a good week for Delhi Metro commuters. The timing could have been better, DMRC!

Appreciate the quick update from DMRC. These things happen with complex systems. At least it's only affecting a small section and not the entire Yellow Line.

The fare increase is actually quite reasonable considering inflation. Rs 1-4 hike after 8 years? That's better than most things in Delhi!

Gurugram side always has these technical issues. DMRC should invest more in maintaining the newer sections. Quality should match the premium fares we're paying now.

Thank God it's only a small delay. Delhi Metro is still the most reliable way to travel in NCR. These minor issues are understandable 👍
