How to Use - Reliance Mumbai Metro

Each metro station area is broadly divided into 3 zones:

• Road Level – You can use the staircase, escalator or elevator from the road level to move to the concourse level.
• Concourse Level – This is divided into unpaid and paid areas. The ticket counters, TIMs and RVCTs are located in the unpaid areas of the station.
  You can buy your ticket from the unpaid area, pass through security and use the AFC Gates to enter the paid area. Then use the staircases,
  escalators or elevators to move up to the platform level.
• Platform Level – This is where you will board the train to your destination.

For the convenience of our passengers, there are many signages installed to guide you to the entrances and exits.

Entrances and exits include staircases, escalators and elevators from Road Level to Concourse Level and from Concourse Level to the Platform Level and vice versa. Our staff will be more than happy to assist you at any time. We request you to follow the instructions of the Metro System to avoid delays and to have a nice day. There are Specific Emergency Exits from platform level to concourse level at all metro stations which are part of the prescribed Safety Standards.

The metro station is divided into paid and unpaid area. The unpaid area houses the ticket counters, Ticket Issuing Machines (TIMs) and Remaining Value Checking Terminal (RVCTs). You can purchase a ticket and use it to enter the paid area through the AFC gates. A valid ticket gives you the authority to enter the paid area, go to the platform and board a metro train to your destination.

A valid ticket needs to be purchased to travel on the metro system. Ticket can be a Token or a Smart card based on your preference. Tickets are easily available at the Concourse Level of each station. Tokens can be purchased – at ticket counters and through Ticket Issuing Machines. Smart Cards can only be purchased from the Customer Care at the concourse level

Customer Care at each metro station will also assist you with re-charging your Smart Card, and provide any other assistance that you may require.

RVCT (Remaining Value Checking Terminal) is provided at each metro station so that you may conveniently check the current balance in your Smart Card.

The metro offers Tokens for Single and Return journey and Smart Cards for regular customers.

Token - This is a pre-paid fare ticket for journeys between a fixed set of stations. Tokens can be purchased for a single journey and are valid for one business day, from the time of sale till the end of operation hours of the day. However, once you enter the system (paid area) you must exit the system from a destination station within 75 minutes (20 minutes for same station). Tokens are a more suitable fare option for non-frequent metro users i.e. the passenger travelling once in a week or twice a week.

Smart Card - The best way to travel on the metro is with a Smart Card. This is an electronic card that can be obtained over the counter from Customer Care of any metro station. A Smart Card can be obtained by paying a security deposit of Rs.50.
All Smart Cards can be loaded with Store Value Pass or Trip Based monthly Pass.
1) The Store Value Pass is an electronic purse with some pre-loaded monetary value as per your choice. Each time you use the metro, the ticket value will be deducted from the monetary value stored in the Smart Card at the exit gate.
2)Trip Pass is loaded with 45 trips which is valid only for 30 days from time of purchase/reload. Once Trip pass is purchased, origin and destination station cannot be changed. Trip Pass is not refundable.
The security deposit of Rs 50 can be refunded as per applicable rules.
Buying a Smart Card will help you save time by avoiding queues at ticket counters.
