Dear Mr. Malhotra
1. I usually board the metro at Dwarka Sector 12 and detrain at Dwarka Sector 21, to catch the Airport express into town. Before the 4th FFC it cost Rs. 12 now it costs Rs. 30. You do the maths (it is not 67% but closer to 3x). I can also cite station pairs where it was Rs.10 and is now Rs. 30 (exactly 3x).4. Let me also educate you that these steep fare hikes are "needed" because of your very honest friend Sreedharan and rapid construction of DAEMPL just before Commonwealth Games using Chinese contractors chosen by Sreedharan, and the subsequent huge arbitration awards for Airport Express line which resulted in favour of Anil Ambani's DAEMPL which have been paid out and thereby ruined the finances of DMRC's remaining lines for decades.

It is surprising that unbridled false statements are being made by some regular members of this forum e.g. fares of metro have been increased 3x in 8 years. Increase over 8 years is 67%, much less than the rise in cost index over this period.Kejrival has consistently been speaking against the hike. He wrote to Central Govt, threatened MD of DMRC. Central Govt turned down Kejrivals request to join him in stopping the rise. Still Delhi Govt is stated as 'partner in this loot'.Evidently, none of the members seem to be interested in fighting corruption. They are only interested in venting their personal grudges against their erstwhile brothers in arm.R.N.Malhotra
