Indian railways revolutionises ticketing; UTS app improved
Captain Shashi Kiran, Chief Public Relations Officer of North Western Railway, unveiled the revamped UTS mobile app, emphasising its role in facilitating hassle-free ticketing for ordinary class travelers. Among the pivotal changes is the removal of the distance limit for booking tickets through the app, thus enabling passengers to secure general tickets from the comfort of their homes.
In a major boon for train travelers across the country, Indian Railways has ushered in a significant change in the ticketing landscape, particularly for those journeying in general coaches. Effective immediately, Railways has lifted the restriction on outer limit geo-facing distance for the UTS mobile app, a move set to provide immense relief to countless passengers.
Streamlined ticketing with UTS app update
Captain Shashi Kiran, Chief Public Relations Officer of North Western Railway, unveiled the revamped UTS mobile app, emphasising its role in facilitating hassle-free ticketing for ordinary class travelers. Among the pivotal changes is the removal of the distance limit for booking tickets through the app, thus enabling passengers to secure general tickets from the comfort of their homes.
General tickets now accessible anywhere
Previously capped at a 20-kilometer threshold, the maximum distance limit for booking general tickets through the UTS mobile app has been obliterated. This groundbreaking revision empowers passengers to book general tickets online from any location, liberating them from the constraints of proximity to station platforms.
Minimum geo-facing distance remains
While the overhaul expands accessibility for ticket booking, it's essential to note that the minimum distance of Geo Facing within the app remains unaltered. Consequently, passengers are still unable to procure general tickets online from within train compartments or directly on station platforms.
Paving the Way for paperless ticketing and environmental conservation
The enhanced functionality of the UTS mobile app underscores Indian Railways' commitment to modernisation and environmental stewardship. By offering a user-friendly interface for paperless ticketing, platform ticketing, and season ticketing, passengers not only save valuable time but also contribute to the reduction of paper usage, fostering a greener, more sustainable travel ecosystem.
