Mumbai, January 11: To reduce the efforts of commuters to wait in long queues, the Western Railway is now all set to provide one more important facility to its suburban commuters by getting tickets through 'Optical Character Recognition kiosks'. This is being extended to passengers on suburban section from 11th January.


This machine has been set up on 20 stations on western railway. These stations include Andheri, Dadar, Borivili, Churchgate to name a few. By installing this machine the passengers will get print out of tickets booked through UTS mobile app with the aim to reduce the long queues at booking counters/ATVM machines thereby promoting transactions through UTS mobile app.

 
Basically the passengers have to feed in their mobile number and booking ID which they have received on their mobile phone in the AVTM machines to get their tickets printed through the UTS counter. It implies by simply placing the screen displaying the SMS in the slot provided in the booth will also reduce the time of printing of tickets as the machine will simply read the SMS and print tickets immediately.

In the initial days, the Western railway was gifted the new AC train and now this ease of getting tickets adds up to the various new initiatives and trials by the railway department
