Hyderabad, February 27: The South Central Railway (SCR) has commissioned Automatic Ticket-Vending Machines (ATVMs) at the Kacheguda railway station on Friday.
A total of six ATVMs were installed at the station. The facility is already available at Secunderabad, Begumpet, Hitech City, Hyderabad and Lingampalli.
Passengers can buy MMTS tickets and general second class tickets for travel by ordinary, mail and express trains besides platform tickets from these ATVMs using smart cards.
ATVM is an extension of the Unreserved Ticketing System (UTS) with a user-friendly touch screen. It generates the ticket after deducting the fare from the smart card duly indicating the balance available. The Smart Cards can be topped up by passengers at the Supervisor Counters as and when required.
