Rail passengers can now book paperless unreserved tickets for any location within 5 km using the ‘UTS on Mobile’ application that was implemented across the country from November 1.
The application was developed by the Centre for Railway Information System (CRIS) that enables passengers to travel without taking hard copy of the ticket. Whenever ticket checking staff asks for ticket, the passenger can show the ticket using the option ‘Show Ticket’ in the app.
On the concourse/booking office area also using the QR code scanning method, paperless UTS tickets can be booked if the passenger is in any suburban station.
A press release from the Salem Railway Division requested the passengers to make use of the improved facility for making their travel experience simpler and easier.
