UTS 2.0: Online/Offline, Authenticate, Paperless Local Railway Unreserved Ticket Booking System for Smart Phones and Feature Phones

Everyday around thousands of commuters use local railways to travel in Mumbai and Chennai. But the common issue faced by them is a long queue they have to stand in to get a railway ticket. Due to which many commuters in emergency travel without a ticket also commuters who buy the ticket spend or waste around 10 minutes in the queue. Keeping this inconvenience in mind the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS) came up with a Smart app for Smart phones where users can buy the ticket online and it eliminates the time spent or wasted by standing in a queue. Also it claims to be paperless which is eco-friendly. But it would be more convenient and add more options for users if they are provided same service offline i.e. without the use of internet that way user with can buy ticket in case they do not have internet access or worse, no network coverage. That way not only users with Smart phone but also users with feature phone can get the benefit of this service.
