Metro Ticket: Nowadays, the metro has become a way of life for commuting. Traveling by metro is comfortable and safe. Therefore, most people use the metro to commute to and from work. However, sometimes, in a hurry, they forget their MetroCard at home or forget it somewhere, resulting in delays and waiting in long queues to get a MetroCard before they can travel. If you ever forget your MetroCard at home, there's no need to panic or worry. Even if you don't have a MetroCard, you won't have to wait in line for a ticket, and your mobile phone will help you do so. Let's explain how to book tickets using your mobile phone without a MetroCard.

After completing the payment, you will receive a QR code ticket on the app. Show your QR code to the scanner at the metro station gate. The gate will automatically open once the ticket is validated.
