Only a few days are left for the year 2024 to begin and the year 2023 to end. Some things happened in the year 2023, which were beneficial for the general public. Indian Railways has also made many major changes. Today we will try to know what benefits and what losses the general public got from these changes.
General ticket facility
There used to be a lot of crowds at the railway booking counter to buy general tickets, although this happens less now. Indian Railways has also made the general ticket facility online. An app named UTS has been created by Railways. Through this app, you can book general tickets online without standing in line. Apart from this, ticketing machines have also been installed at railway stations. This step of Railways has benefited the passengers traveling on general tickets.
Will get rid of the hassle of the waiting list
Millions of people travel by train in India every day. According to a report, every year about 700 crore passengers travel by train. It is estimated that this number will reach 1000 crores by the year 2030. Many times people travel on waiting tickets due to not getting confirmed tickets.
Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav has prepared a plan to deal with this. Indian Railways has decided to run more trains so that passengers can be relieved from the inconvenience caused by waiting.
TTE will not be able to bother you
TTE checks the tickets while traveling on the train. Passengers found without tickets are fined. Sometimes passengers are sleepy and go to TTE to check the ticket. This causes inconvenience to other passengers. Now Railways has made a new rule for this. TTE will not be able to check TTE tickets after 10 pm.
