On Wednesday the Noida Metro Rail Corporation announced a “non-farebox” initiative by which people can throw birthday parties and pre-wedding celebrations by booking a metro coach.
The NMRC said that the aim behind the policy is to develop a unique destination for birthday and pre-wedding celebrations for residents of Noida and Greater Noida. Those who want to book the coach will be able to have the coach decorated and have the option of hosting the celebration on a running metro according to the time of the function. The NMRC said that the policy can be accessed from its website.
Those who want to book a coach will have to pay a security deposit of Rs 20,000 that will be refundable and a licence fee of Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000 an hour for every coach, it all depends on whether they want NMRC to decorate the coach. You can book one to four coaches, at least 15 days before the event, on the Noida Metro website.
