Maha Metro Nagpur Takes Step to Provide Cheaper Travel for Students
In a significant move to make travel more accessible and affordable for students, Maha Metro Nagpur has announced a 30% concession for students up to 12th standard. This new regime will come into effect on Tuesday, 7th February and will be available for both cash transactions and for those using the Maha Card.
To avail of the discount, students from schools or junior colleges need to present a photo identity card issued by their educational institution at the metro station ticket counter. The discount will be available for both cash payments and for those using the Maha Card. The amount of discount will be credited to the Maha Card account at a later stage. The State Bank of India, which is the service provider for Maha Card, will make necessary adjustments to the software before the revised discounted fare structure becomes operational.
Previously, Maha Card users received a 10% discount on journey fares, but starting on 7th February, this will be increased to 30% for students. The discounted fare will be applicable to all fare slabs and will greatly benefit students who are looking for cheaper travel options.
Maha Metro Nagpur is urging educational institutions to take advantage of this plan and provide photo identity cards to students as necessary. With this new regime, students can now enjoy a reduced monthly spending on metro journeys by a third. Nagpur Metro is committed to providing a safe, secure, environment-friendly and hassle-free commuting experience, and this new discount regime is an important step towards achieving that goal.
In conclusion, the decision to provide a 30% concession to students is a significant step towards making travel more affordable and accessible for students. With this new regime, students can reduce their monthly spending on metro journeys and enjoy a safer, more secure, and more convenient travel experience.
