New Delhi, April 21 (IANS) Travelling on the Delhi airport metro line would be cheaper for the next three days as the high-speed Airport Express Line is offering 50 percent discount in fares on account of Good Friday and Easter.

“Commuters will have to shell out only 50 percent of the journey fare. The special discount on the fare begins tomorrow on Good Friday and ends Sunday on the Easter (April 22 to April 24),” the Delhi Airport Metro Express Private Limited (DAMEPL) official said Thursday.

The Delhi airport metro line is offering discount on its existing fare to popularise the high-speed metro corridor among the public, he said.

The existing maximum fare is Rs.100, while the minimum is Rs.20. The fifty percent discount will be available at all the four operational stations.

The offer will also facilitate passengers who visit the Sacred Heart Cathedral Church, near Connaught Place, on Good Friday and Easter. The commuters can get down at Shivaji Stadium station located on Baba Kharak Singh Marg and reach the Church or Connaught Place.

“This discounted fare will encourage people to take the Airport Metro Express Line, which is the faster way to reach Connaught Place, New Delhi railway station and Chandni Chowk at a minimised cost,” the DAMEPL official added.

The Reliance Infrastructure which runs the Airport Express line recently offered discounted fares on the occasion of Ram Navami and Baisakhi.
