Vadodara, April 18 – In a significant move to enhance passenger convenience, the Vadodara Division of Western Railway has expanded its digital payment and ticketing services across major stations. This initiative aims to eliminate long-standing queues and cash-related inconveniences by introducing faster, easier, and cashless ticketing options.
Automatic ticket vending machines (ATVMs) have been installed at key stations including Vadodara, Ankleshwar, Bharuch, Anand, Nadiad, and Godhra. These machines allow passengers to book unreserved tickets independently, saving valuable time and reducing dependence on traditional booking counters.
Additionally, the UTS mobile ticketing app has been actively implemented in the division. Through this app, passengers can conveniently book paperless tickets from anywhere outside the station premises using their smartphones.
To further strengthen the digital infrastructure, dynamic QR code-based UPI payment systems have been introduced at all reserved and unreserved ticket counters. Passengers can now make instant payments using popular UPI-enabled apps such as Google Pay, PhonePe, and Paytm, effectively resolving issues related to loose change.
With these advancements, the Vadodara Division is taking a major step toward aligning Indian Railways with the digital age. The administration has affirmed its commitment to introducing more cutting-edge services in the future to enhance the travel experience and efficiency of operations.
