UNRESERVED TICKETING SYSTEM
The Unreserved Ticketing
System (UTS), introduced on Northern Railway with effect from
August 15, 2002 has since been extended to 23 stations in Delhi
area. About 90 counters have been operationalized, which can issue
tickets with all the defined destination stations in the system.
The UTS project
is similar to the computerized Passenger Reservation System. The
tickets can be purchased 30 days in advance and the passengers
need not buy the tickets from the station where the journey is
to commence. It aims at giving flexibility to the passengers for
buying tickets on a convenient date and trying to reduce serpentine
queue at the train originating stations where there is normally
heavy rush for the unreserved tickets before train departure.
The UTS is being
extended to Eastern, East Central, North Eastern and remaining
stations of Northern Railway in the current financial year
