20 Nov 2024, 2: 23 PM In a significant move to enhance the convenience of tourists and locals alike, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has entered into a partnership with the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to sell monument tickets through the Delhi Sarthi App.
This collaboration aims to streamline ticketing services for visitors to historical monuments in Delhi, making it easier to access and experience the rich cultural heritage of the city.
Delhi Sarthi App: A One-Stop Solution for Commuters and Tourists
The Delhi Sarthi App, which was initially introduced to facilitate smooth access to metro services, has now expanded its utility by offering a range of services beyond transportation.
This mobile application, designed to provide real-time information about metro trains, has become a central hub for commuters in the capital. With the new addition of ticket sales for historical monuments, the app is poised to be an even more valuable tool for both residents and tourists in Delhi.
By integrating the sale of monument tickets, the Delhi Sarthi App is taking a significant step towards digitization and modernization of tourism in the capital.
Tourists visiting monuments such as the Red Fort, Qutub Minar, and Humayun’s Tomb will now be able to purchase tickets directly from the app, eliminating the need for long queues and providing a more seamless experience.
Key Features of the DMRC-ASI Collaboration
The partnership between DMRC and ASI aims to simplify the process of visiting Delhi’s famous historical landmarks.
With the introduction of this feature on the Delhi Sarthi App, visitors will benefit from:
- Convenience: Tourists no longer need to stand in lines at ticket counters. The ticket-purchasing process can be completed from the comfort of their smartphones.
- Cashless Transactions: The app supports digital payments, allowing users to buy tickets with ease using credit/debit cards, e-wallets, or other online payment methods.
- Real-time Updates: Users can receive live updates about the availability of tickets for various monuments, along with operating hours and any special events or closures.
- Integrated Travel Services: For those using the Delhi Metro to visit these monuments, the Delhi Sarthi App offers an all-in-one platform for metro travel and monument visits.
Future Prospects and Tourism Boost
This collaboration is expected to boost tourism in Delhi by making it easier for both domestic and international tourists to visit the city’s historic sites.
The integration of monument ticket sales with the Delhi Sarthi App not only supports the digitalization of services but also enhances the overall tourist experience by reducing the friction typically associated with ticketing and entry to popular monuments.
As Delhi continues to grow as a tourist destination, the Delhi Sarthi App provides a seamless and digital experience for both commuters and tourists and is set to expand further.
With more features likely to be added in the future, the app will become an indispensable tool for anyone navigating the city.
