Western Railway has introduced a ‘Shareable UTS Season Ticket’ facility on the RailOne app, allowing registered users to book season tickets for themselves and up to five other passengers, including family members.
Western Railway Chief Public Relations Officer Vineet Abhishek said a single registered user can now book a maximum of six season tickets, including their own, through the facility.
Users Must Be 18 To Book Tickets For Themselves
A registered user must be at least 18 years old to book a season ticket for themselves. A beneficiary passenger for a season ticket booked in another person’s name must be at least five years old.
A season ticket booked for the user themselves will be valid from the day of booking, while a ticket booked for another passenger will become valid from the following day.
Printed Or PDF Ticket Accepted
Passengers can show either a clear, legible printed copy of the Shareable Season Ticket or its PDF version on a mobile phone during travel.
The ticket must clearly display the passenger’s photograph and complete details. The photograph will also be digitally embedded in the QR code.
Railway authorities said the photograph printed on the ticket, the photograph embedded in the QR code and the passenger presenting the ticket must all belong to the same person.
Booking Receipts Not Valid For Travel
Passengers cannot use RailOne booking receipts or invoices as travel documents. Copies of UTS paper tickets will also not be accepted.
Only a valid Shareable Season Ticket will be recognised for travel under the new facility.
Passengers Advised Not To Tamper With QR Code
Railways has advised passengers to keep the season ticket and its QR code clean, intact and clearly readable.
If the QR code is damaged, altered, unreadable or appears to have been tampered with, railway authorities may be unable to verify the ticket. In such cases, the passenger may be treated as travelling without a valid ticket and could face a penalty under railway rules.
