Kolkata: Eastern Railway has taken initiative to popularise mobile ticketing among general passengers by holding mobile facilitation camps at different stations.
The project has been implemented under the guidance of Divisional Railway Manager Prabhas Dansana, ER's Sealdah Division.
One such camp was organised recently at Sonarpur station where passengers were informed in detail on how to download the App — UTS on mobile, registration process, recharging and getting tickets.
Passengers were provided with leaflets and live demonstrations were made to help them understand the working of the app by which they can get daily, return and monthly tickets avoiding queues and rush at the booking counters saving their
precious time.
ER's Sealdah division has been organising these camps on a regular basis over the last three months at Bidhannagar Road, Dum Dum Jn., Naihati, Kalyani, Barasat, Jadavpur and more such camps are planned in future.
Sealdah division is predominantly a Suburban division catering to mostly unreserved passengers and provides passengers with alternate modes of ticketing like
UTS on mobile, ATVMs, CoTVMs, JTBS etc.
