February 12, 2009
The Times of India:By 2010, all train passengers would have instant access to unreserved tickets from even the most remote corners of the country. What is more, they would be able to buy a ticket, not just from the stations, but several public kiosks as well. At present, the Unreserved Ticketing System developed by the Centre for Railway Information System provides access to 60 percent of the 16 million passengers who travel on such tickets every day. Only one million passengers travel daily in reserved compartments.
