CHENNAI: The Railways would introduce ATM facilities in trains after issues relating to security of the system inside the train was sorted out, Union Minister of State for Railways R Velu said.
"The proposal is certainly on and would come into effect after issues such as security for the machine and the GPS (for connectivity purposes) are sorted out," he told reporters here after inaugurating an Indian Bank-Southern Railway e-ticketing facility at the Egmore railway station.
However, he did not specify a timeframe for the introduction of the system.
The e-ticketing facility, the "first in India," would help Indian Bank Debit Card holders book tickets at such ATM centres, Indian Bank Chairman and Managing Director M S Sundara Rajan said.
"More such ATM centres, from where our customers can not only book tickets but also print them, are being established in the country, at railway stations," he added.
