🚆 Indian Railways Goes QR Smart!


South Central Railway has rolled out QR code-enabled jackets for staff at key stations like Secunderabad and Vijayawada, easing festive rush.


👉 How it works:


Passengers open the UTS or Rail One app


Select QR booking


Scan the jacket QR (works up to 5m away, even outside station premises)


App auto-detects the origin → pay → show paperless ticket to TTE



✨ Features:


Multi-language support


Faster unreserved ticket booking


Similar setup planned for Maha Kumbh 2025



💡 Indian Railways already uses station QR codes and geofencing. Now, dynamic QR tech is being explored in suburban networks to curb

fraud from static codes.
