Commuters can now pay cell phone bills or top phones off before hopping onto the Metro in New Delhi, according to the Times of India.
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) recently installed multi-service payment kiosks at 20 stations throughout the capital.
"These machines are touchscreen-based, and the user can select from the desired service and service-provider from the screen to either pay a mobile bill or recharge a mobile number," said a spokesman for DMRC.
The user can type the mobile number using the keypad on the touchscreen and proceed with the transaction by inserting the required money in the designated slot.
The spokesman said DMRC will eventually upgrade the machines to allow consumers to pay insurance premiums and electricity and water bills. They also will be able to purchase airline tickets and movie tickets.
