Indian Railways: With regard to general or unreserved tickets, Indian Railways has made a significant decision. Railways have increased the distance for purchasing general tickets via the UTS mobile app to 20 kilometres. Until now, the ticket could only be purchased if they were within five kilometres of the railroad station.
According to the railways, the 5 km distance restriction on the non-suburban segment of the UTS mobile app has been removed. Passengers can now purchase tickets without making a reservation within a 20-kilometer radius of the railroad station. Furthermore, the previous speed limit of two to five kilometres per hour in the suburban section has been raised to ten kilometres per hour.
This decision by the Railways will benefit passengers who travel on general tickets. As a result, it is being interpreted as a decision to reduce the crowd at the ticket counter.
