hey wait, on this trip to Delhi the biggest mistake I did was to try the online payment to top-up the metro card.
Was almost out of cash and topped it online, as in earlier post but that was not showing in account when asked ticket counter
Bought another new one,
Next day went to several stations and asked several
windows, not a single one had any idea what I did with it. I was asking them to where do i Locate
this hidden AVM machine (its add value machine), some say, its at central secretariat, some shahdhara, some on moon, some on mars.
I told in as simple words that I added Rs.100/- using dmrc website, but he stopped me saying, minimum add value is Rs.200/- I had to
tell him check your own website and then sit here, this was not just one window but everywhere.
Secondly they never knew one could add cash via Internet using debit/
credit cards.
Thirdly they checked on phone with some other concerned person but said machine may be out of service.
And I even saved this Page from
Metro Website to Show the PIC of this Magical AVM to every staff I talked to
Frustrated enough and having spent value on card already, I bought a Token from Nehru Place to Noida.
and from Rajiv Chowk boarded a wrong direction metro
go down at Ram Krishna ashram and was on way to other platform using stairs when to my Utmost SURPRISE
I saw the AVM machine, HURRAY, wow, I AM the KING OF THE WORLD, I saved myself from becoming a ZOMBIE
and rushed to the AVM, it was ON, I touched my card, touched "add value" and SKY TURNED into LED Lights, and Rain Started coming up from ground
fairies started singing and with a Beethoven playing off every speaker,
Value was added successfully, some part I don't remember, may be above needs to be edited.
Uffff, so Lessons Learned,
I WILL NEVER ADD VALUE to DMRC Card Online, one would be
pi**ed off in location a AVM which is needed to complete transaction.
so if you are using the card, why not pay the DAMN, Rs.200/- and get it done right away on Token Vending Machine which sucks your notes very attractively.
