VIJAYAWADA: In a move to encourage cashless transactions and digital payments, the South Central Railway (SCR) has introduced payments for tickets through QR (Quick Response) codes at automatic ticket vending machines.
In a press release on Thursday, SCR general manager Sanjeev Kishore said in addition to the existing modes of payment, passengers will get the option of making UPI payments through PayTm or Freecharge. The ATVMs will display the QR codes, which can be scanned for buying the tickets.
