New Delhi: Almost a week after DTC hiked the fares of its bus service, Delhi Metro today announced an increase in fares, burning a hole in the commuters' pockets.

Delhi Metro's increased fares would come into effect on Friday.

The minimum fare (0-2 km) was increased from Rs.6 to Rs.8, while the maximum fare (over 39 km) was increased from Rs.22 to Rs.30, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) announced. The rest of the slabs will also increase accordingly.

The move comes after Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) increased its bus fares last week, irking commuters.

On an average, over 850,000 people commute daily by Delhi Metro. (IANS)
