Mysore/Mysuru: Automatic Ticket Vending Machines (ATVMs) have been installed at various Railway Stations over Mysuru Division to facilitate passengers to buy unreserved tickets through digital mode.

With the implementation of these Paytm & UPI QR code-based payment facility, any passenger who is having UPI Mobile App can purchase tickets from ATVMs.  This will help passengers in buying unreserved tickets easily without standing in queue at booking counters.
