Commuters travelling via Rajiv Chowk and Kashmere Gate metro stations,
two of the busiest junctions of the Delhi Metro network, would now be
able to access Internet for free with the launch of
Wi-Fi facility on
Friday.
The first such introduction of wireless Internet in the
rapidly expanding network, which has been christened 'Metro-Fi', would
let people use Internet for free for 30 minutes everyday, beyond which
they will be charged by the service provider.
The Wi-Fi services
at these two stations are being provided as part of an MoU signed by
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation with the Rail Tel Corporation of India in
May 2015.
The other three stations where similar facilities would
be made available soon are Vishwavidyalaya, Central Secretariat, and
Hauz Khas. All the five stations fall on metro's Yellow Line, that
connects Samaypur Badli to Gurgaon.
"As soon as a passenger enters
the paid area of these stations, she can select available Wi-Fi network
named 'Metro-Fi' and then register herself through her mobile number.
Subsequently, one SMS will be sent on that number having the login
password," a metro official said.
Until recently, only trains and stations of the 5.1 km long Rapid Metro Network in Gurgaon were Wi-Fi enabled.
