In a movement to improve the convenience of passengers, Indian Railways is driving the installation of trains aboard automated cashiers (ATM), marking a first in the national transporter. The pilot was introduced into the Mumbai – Manmad Panchavati Express, a popular interurban train that connects Mumbai with Nashik.
“In a first #ATM train installation,” Ashwini Vaishnaw, a railroad minister, wrote on the social media platform X. The minister also shared an automatic cashier and how it has been placed in a reimbursement in the rear or a CA coach securing.
The ATM is a joint effect with the Bank of Maharashtra under the scheme of innovative and non -late income ideas (Afis), where the railroads will seek to sew other roads beyond passenger rates.
The trial aims to address the practical need for passengers that may require the duration of cash on their trip. Coach’s modifications were made to guarantee the atm configuration within the coach. P, transforming an old improvised pantry space into a modern banking.
The Panchavati Express shares its route with the Mumbai-Hingoli Janshatabdi Express and the long-term passengers to Hingoli will also benefit from the ATM when the train operates on that route. If the service gains traction, Indian Railways plans to expand it to other important trains, those who know.
