Railway Minister on Wednesday launched a mobile application for paperless unreserved ticketing. The project covers 15 stations in the southern region and will be extended to the entire country in phases.
Nearly two crore passengers obtain unreserved tickets daily through nearly 11,470 counters at 5,836 locations generating about Rs.52 crore of revenue per day.
The application is being rolled out as a pilot project between Chennai's Egmore and Tambaram suburban section of southern railway covering 15 stations.
The application features provide necessary on-screen alerts to guide the passenger during the booking process.
The railways further said that the ticket booked in paperless mode cannot be cancelled in order to prevent claiming of refund after travel.
