Setting a new record, the Western Railway has sold a staggering 550,000
tickets through the UTS App to Mumbai suburban train passengers in a
single day, an official said here on Friday.
The feat was
achieved on February 3 when 550,000 - or around 11.03 per cent of the
day's 5.28 million commuters - bought tickets through the UTS App on
their mobiles, said WR spokesperson Ravinder Bhakar.
"During
November 2018, the average daily active users were 124,000 which climbed
to 339,000 in January 2020, and shot upto 550,000 on February 3. This
mode of digital ticketing has become a hit among the commuters," he
said.
The objective of introducing the UTS App was to promote
self-ticketing and ensure passengers buy tickets without facing the
ordeal of long queues at various railway stations.
For this, the
WR carried out rigorous awareness campaigns and roped in college
students, across the suburban network and highlighted the utility and
benefits, including a 5 percent bonus on every recharge amounts, and has
appealed to all commuters to utilise the UTS App to book their tickets
and hop onto a train.
Bhakar said the App is easy to download and
simple to operate, and all unreserved and season tickets can be booked
on it, with options available for paper or paperless tickets and for
quick payments through inbuilt R-Wallet or other channels.
