Automated Token Vending Machines at Delhi Metro

Queuing up for tokens at metro stations will be a past thing now. Delhi metro has taken a step ahead for travelers by providing automated token vending machines on several crowded metro stations in which we need not to stand in a long queues waiting for buying token.
I used to have smart card(card used for metro travelers) but if my relative comes then despite of buying smart card for single visit they have to queue up long for token because of what i too had to wait for them but now these token vending machines have saved a lot of time in no_other_option_situation. Sometimes smart card recharge also have long queues but these machines also help recharge smart  card without any queue.




Today I was travelling from Rajiv chowk  to Nehru place and one of my friend was with me who was not having smart card then without an option we have to stand in the long queue for token then suddenly I glanced at new token vending machine which was in working state so i went there and got the token very easily which saved our almost half an hour and was a new experience in Delhi metro.

The token vending machines are very easy to use and best part is these are touch screen and to use first we have to choose the proffered language i.e either English or Hindi and then have to choose the destination station from the metro map itself and then screen with fare 'll appear and then we are asked for number of tokens and then finally payment in multiple of  notes and finally the tokens with remained change is in the slot.
