New advanced train reservation at Kuvempunagar

South Western Railway’s Mysuru division has successfully commissioned the New Generation Passenger Reservation System (PRS) at the Advance Ticket Reservation Counter at Kuvempunagar in Mysuru.

This achievement marks a significant milestone, as Kuvempunagar becomes the first Non-Rail Head (NRH) location in Indian Railways to operate the Advanced Passenger Operating System-based PRS through a static IP over the internet, according to the division.

The newly commissioned system is designed to enhance passenger convenience by providing faster, reliable, and seamless reservation services. The integration of UPI-enabled payment options facilitates cashless transactions, ensuring a modern, secure, and user-friendly ticketing experience for passengers, a press release said.

“With this initiative, Mysuru division continues its commitment towards digital transformation and improved customer service by extending advanced railway reservation facilities beyond traditional railway station premises,” it said.

Passengers can now avail themselves of efficient and hassle-free ticket booking services at Kuvempunagar, reducing dependence on station-based counters and promoting ease of access within the city.

“This development reflects Indian Railways’ ongoing efforts to adopt innovative technologies and expand passenger-centric services across diverse locations,” said Girish Dharmaraj Kalagonda, Divisional Commercial Manager, Mysuru division.
