Here is some good news for railway passengers. The South Central Railway (SCR) introduced Uninterrupted Ticketing System (UTS) on Wednesday.

All general tickets can be booked through mobile phones in railway stations where Automatic Ticket Vending Machines (ATVMSs) are installed.

UTS facility will be available in 38 stations in Vijayawada Division, where ATVMs have been commissioned.

What the passengers need to do is to download and install the app ‘utsonmobile’ in Android and Windows-based smartphones.
