Mumbai local traveller? Good news! Central Railway has taken this big passenger friendly step

Mumbai Local trains may not be the favourite mode of travel for most passengers, but they have no choice except to take it. The reason behind this is that they have to go through a harrowing time of standing in long queues on ticket counters and thereafter, facing extreme chaos in local stations and then bearing with the rush on trains in unbearable heat and humidity. The good news for them now is that things may change fast!

To improve convenience of the Mumbaikars, Central Railway has announced that it is setting up new Automatic Ticket Vending Machines (ATVM) at 42 suburban stations. Mumbai local train passengers would now be able to buy tickets easily and quickly with a two-step process with the installation of new Automatic Ticket Vending Machines (ATVM).

Central Railway (CR) will add up to 92 Automatic Ticket Vending Machines and this will facilitate providing tickets faster to millions of commuters over the Mumbai local train network.
