Indian Railway: Travelling by train doesn’t have to be a hassle, especially when it comes to booking your tickets. Passengers travelling in general coaches often have to stand in long queues at the ticket window. However, with the UTS (Unreserved Ticketing System) Mobile App, you can now book general and platform tickets from the comfort of your home. This app, introduced by Indian Railways, has recently undergone some changes to enhance passenger convenience.
Recent Updates to the UTS Mobile App
Indian Railways continuously strives to improve the travel experience for passengers. Last month, significant updates were made to the UTS Mobile App to make it even more convenient. Previously, the maximum distance for booking general tickets through the app was limited to 20 kilometres. Now, you can book general or platform tickets online if the distance from the station platform is more than 20 kilometres.
