This will facilitate in doing away the need for carrying cash and tendering exact change apart from procuring the tickets instantly, a press release said.
Separate devices have been provided at all ticketing counters of all the stations across the zone right outside the ticket window. After all the relevant details for issuing ticket are fed into the system, before accepting the payment, QR code is displayed on these devices and the same can be scanned by the passenger through the payment Apps present in mobile phone.
