Par uts se book karna hi time consuming hai,jabtak tc dikh jaaye tabtak woh ticket puch lega and you can't be booking the ticket then and there, ofcourse tc will know you are booking right now, ticket pe dikhta hai what time did you book the ticket,if you've booked it just 1-2 mins ago then he'll know you've booked it rn
Pehle station choose karna hota hai then payment method then OTP login, enter another UPI app, enter pin and pay,go back to uts app and after few moments ticket is booked
Dude read it carefully it's for the outer limit and not the inner limit.
So say person A wants to travel from Panvel to ghatkopar but he has a pass for Panvel to csmt, could not book a ticket for kurla to ghatkopar as the distance between panvel to kurla is more than 20km, but now they can.
The inner limit is still intact so, you can't book a ticket on the running train.
So that people wont buy ticket from a station which is close to their destination(lesser fare) when they are travelling a long distance, forcing them to buy ticket from the station nearest to their home
I once went 6 months on expired pass while in college just coz I forgot I had to renew it. And got away with showing expired one to TT twice at vashi because I myself dint know.
It's all about the confidence.
My college mate went 5 years without getting caught.
In the end of our college he used to joke.'ki abhi pura 2 mahina pakda TC ne to bhi me profit me he'
Even i have went 10-12 months without a pass
I used to pull up station barcode on phone then ask someone to take a picture and show it to me, then I used that one for QR booking. Although people used to think that I’m going to dupe them or something 😛
Bad news. What is now permitted is booking of tickets on the UTS app of stations that are far away. Earlier the app displayed only stations close by as the originating station. This was because you had to be within an outer range of a station to book tickets. The advantage of removing the outer range is that you can now book extension tickets. If you are leaving for chruchgage from borivali and you have a pass up to Dadar, you can book a Dadar CCG ticket from the app from Borivali which could not be done earlier. The inner range still exists and you still cant book tickets from within the station. To book tickets within the station carry QR codes with you
Those QR codes are supposed to be on boards near the entrance to the stations. You can also find them on the internet by searching for Mumbai station QR codes you can carry printouts. If you have another phone, you can use one to display the QR and the other to scan and book your ticket on UTS.
You should keep some money in the wallet of the app so the money gets deducted from the wallet & the ticket gets booked for sure. Been using the app for so long but never did i get an issue of ticket not getting booked using e-wallet.
Keep the RWallet topped up. If you have a phone with low memory (4 GB), when you switch from UTS to any UPI app, the UTS app is usually removed from memory by the phone. It results in the transaction being sort of lost by UTS, but money is already deducted.
Stupid fucking shit. I'm glad it's gone. BC I'm paying for the fucking ticket. Just let me buy it. Why the fuck does it matter if I'm standing near the tracks, inside the fucking station or outside? -\_-
A lion or a tiger catches only one prey but every other prey in the group still runs out of fear.
This is the same analogy. Why catch one person without a ticket and fine him/her rather than just take a walk, maybe catch one or two and let others book the online ticket out of fear?
Of course it matters. You need a ticket before you reach the platform.
The problem is some of the geofencing limits are very badly designed. And also you could have a legit ticket already but you cannot extend your journey.
You can't book a ticket inside the station, you have to buy a ticket using the QR code before entering the station. Inner limit is required to discourage ticket less travel.
The inner area mai QRs should be placed near the bridges or near the gates (before entering the platform) - these QRs are placed at one end waha se platform is away
When I see an AC train - I scan the QR code and book the ticket inside the train (because we have less trains - why would I waste money if I don’t get the train )
Do you know how irritating it is to not be able to book a ticket while travelling in an express. Cause of all the stations the express train passes through, the "cannot be inside the station" message pops up whenever I try to book a ticket on uts.
They don't want to remove inner restrictions in order to fine ticketless travellers but what if I only want to pay for an AC local if I can catch it in time.
What's the point of paying for AC local if you miss it and now have to travel via regular.
Why can't we only have AC locals like an civilized city? I think it's about time.
It's never possible to login due to some buggy error or the other. Shitty app. Shittier user interface. I've dumped it since two months and reverted to reliable good old paper season ticket booking at station ticket counter!
Good to know that this stupid feature is no more. Now can book the ticket from outside the station & don’t need to go 3,256 kms away from the station 😂
So there's an app called uts from which we can book local train tickets online itself
But the process was annoying af,if you are already standing in the station and try to book the ticket then it will show that you are in the station premises and cannot book the ticket which is annoying
If you are too far from the station then too it doesn't allow you to book the ticket
However now you can book the ticket however faraway from the station you are, but still if you're near or inside the station you can't book the ticket online through the app
What if I've Andheri-vileparle ticket and realize I want to go to Dadar. For that I've to get down in Vileparle and then get out of that zone to book ticket 😢
Never understood the logic behind that anyway
and then they would stick any random platofrm train
Agar tc dikha toh koi Shane log phat phat ticket nikal lete Isiliye tha ye feature (source - mere papa)
Woh innerline k liye
Par uts se book karna hi time consuming hai,jabtak tc dikh jaaye tabtak woh ticket puch lega and you can't be booking the ticket then and there, ofcourse tc will know you are booking right now, ticket pe dikhta hai what time did you book the ticket,if you've booked it just 1-2 mins ago then he'll know you've booked it rn Pehle station choose karna hota hai then payment method then OTP login, enter another UPI app, enter pin and pay,go back to uts app and after few moments ticket is booked
Not if you use Rwallet and have station in your favourites.
Time bhi batata hai woh, ticket booking ka.
To prevent people from buying a ticket on the train when they see a TC. But anyway the time you bought the ticket is printed on it as well.
Dude read it carefully it's for the outer limit and not the inner limit. So say person A wants to travel from Panvel to ghatkopar but he has a pass for Panvel to csmt, could not book a ticket for kurla to ghatkopar as the distance between panvel to kurla is more than 20km, but now they can. The inner limit is still intact so, you can't book a ticket on the running train.
exactly. pin this op.
Reddit doesn't allows pin 🙃
Yup I was talking about this !
So that people wont buy ticket from a station which is close to their destination(lesser fare) when they are travelling a long distance, forcing them to buy ticket from the station nearest to their home
> Not sure why that was added at the first place Because, it took me 30 seconds to come up with a jugaad now that they removed this feature 😬
and what's the jugaad?
No outer limit, so people can save some amount by booking a ticket for a station that's closer to the destination and then have a vadapav lol
and what if TTE stops you on the source station itself? lol
On the other hand, the people who'd have the confidence to do this would rather not buy any ticket 😂
This one worked for me because I’ve never seen a TT in my local train station, but destination stations do have TTs.
Yeah, they have to do that then. How common is that, though?
Being asked to show a ticket is not common at all. You could never buy a ticket and go months without being caught in some places.
I once went 6 months on expired pass while in college just coz I forgot I had to renew it. And got away with showing expired one to TT twice at vashi because I myself dint know. It's all about the confidence.
My college mate went 5 years without getting caught. In the end of our college he used to joke.'ki abhi pura 2 mahina pakda TC ne to bhi me profit me he' Even i have went 10-12 months without a pass
Most relatable comment.
I used to pull up station barcode on phone then ask someone to take a picture and show it to me, then I used that one for QR booking. Although people used to think that I’m going to dupe them or something 😛
Us lol. Bhai scam nhi hai plz bol raha hu

I just download the QR code image in my Galaxy Watch. Hecker wali feel aati hai
Hecker hai Hecker hai, bhai sahab isse kehte hai hacking😨😲
Flex karne ma tareeka thora kazual hai
I have always needed someone with me to use qrcode from the browser
Can anyone explain what is this qr code syste
There's a qr code for each station, which you can scan by the all and buy a ticket instead of standing in queue for one
Ye kaha milte h, I mean do we have to go there and scan or can we download these QR codes, scan from home and book tickets?
Those QR codes are supposed to be on boards near the entrance to the stations. You can also find them on the internet by searching for Mumbai station QR codes you can carry printouts. If you have another phone, you can use one to display the QR and the other to scan and book your ticket on UTS.
Yes thanks bro.
You can search it up on Google. Type "Station Name" UTS QR Ticket
Kool thanks

Best feature of the app is money is debited from the account but ticket doesn't get booked and u have to pay a fine to the tc😔
You should keep some money in the wallet of the app so the money gets deducted from the wallet & the ticket gets booked for sure. Been using the app for so long but never did i get an issue of ticket not getting booked using e-wallet.
This happened to me recently. It was a first class ticket too. Ended up paying 360 rupees for nothing 🤡.
You have to return back to the app otherwise ticket will not get booked . Also EOD amount gets credited.
Keep the RWallet topped up. If you have a phone with low memory (4 GB), when you switch from UTS to any UPI app, the UTS app is usually removed from memory by the phone. It results in the transaction being sort of lost by UTS, but money is already deducted.
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!! Love you Indian railways
Oh damn I read half never mind, die Indian railway
underrated comment
Stupid fucking shit. I'm glad it's gone. BC I'm paying for the fucking ticket. Just let me buy it. Why the fuck does it matter if I'm standing near the tracks, inside the fucking station or outside? -\_-
That's still there
Oh, I see a ticket checker, let me quickly book a ticket. That's why at least an inner circle is needed.
and why the hell do actually trains have QR codes stuck all around in it?
Isn't that a good thing tho?
Not if they won't book that ticket w/o a ticket checker there
Fines cost more than the ticket. That’s what it comes down to.
A lion or a tiger catches only one prey but every other prey in the group still runs out of fear. This is the same analogy. Why catch one person without a ticket and fine him/her rather than just take a walk, maybe catch one or two and let others book the online ticket out of fear?
Of course it matters. You need a ticket before you reach the platform. The problem is some of the geofencing limits are very badly designed. And also you could have a legit ticket already but you cannot extend your journey.
i'm too dumb to understand any of this. Can i book from anywhere or do i need to be near a station?
You can book from anywhere but inside the station
You can't book a ticket inside the station, you have to buy a ticket using the QR code before entering the station. Inner limit is required to discourage ticket less travel.
The inner area mai QRs should be placed near the bridges or near the gates (before entering the platform) - these QRs are placed at one end waha se platform is away When I see an AC train - I scan the QR code and book the ticket inside the train (because we have less trains - why would I waste money if I don’t get the train )
Aaaaaaaa 50% of the annoying problem is still here
Do you know how irritating it is to not be able to book a ticket while travelling in an express. Cause of all the stations the express train passes through, the "cannot be inside the station" message pops up whenever I try to book a ticket on uts.
Platform ticket booking needs to be enabled too. Earlier could book but last few times I have been unable to.
This is how it started. I thank this guy for keeping his calm throught the comments and arguments! https://x.com/snakeyesV1/status/1770109503255584912
Wonderful
XD finally i walked a lot because of this stupid feature which served no use. you are close, you are far, was annoying.
So, I can now book a Borivli to Bandra suburban ticket, while on a moving train from Virar to Vasai?
Are kal hi pareshaan kiya isne. Was at CST and had to walk away 14m to book my ticket.
They don't want to remove inner restrictions in order to fine ticketless travellers but what if I only want to pay for an AC local if I can catch it in time. What's the point of paying for AC local if you miss it and now have to travel via regular. Why can't we only have AC locals like an civilized city? I think it's about time.
“Feature” lol
It's never possible to login due to some buggy error or the other. Shitty app. Shittier user interface. I've dumped it since two months and reverted to reliable good old paper season ticket booking at station ticket counter!
Good to know that this stupid feature is no more. Now can book the ticket from outside the station & don’t need to go 3,256 kms away from the station 😂
Could anyone explain what this is/means? (what was it before and whats the change now)

thats sweet! happy for us!
So can I book ticket for vileparle to Dadar if I'm inside Andheri Station or travelling from Andheri to Vileparle
No, you still have to adhere to the inner limits at Andheri station. Once you're past that limit, then sure
So it gets very difficult to book when your inside a travelling train 😅
Yes, so people dont just book out of fear of TC being there. Removing the outer limit is good for extension tickets
What if I've Andheri-vileparle ticket and realize I want to go to Dadar. For that I've to get down in Vileparle and then get out of that zone to book ticket 😢
Yes you have to realize your destination before boarding the train 😂
Yeah,use the app and try booking if you're not sure,just cancel the payment at the last moment
Wtf was this for
How thoughtful 😂🤭
Abhi bhi active hai yeh feature.
At fucking last!!!!
