Highlights
New banknotes are still to be updated on the metro rail’s ticket vending machines. Whenever commuters vend new paper currencies, machines misbehave as commuters cannot vend desired changes. According to a commuter, the call button to help is also helpless as nobody comes to help. It creates a long queue to buy tickets from booths like an old-fashioned railway station ticket counter.
