Text of the circular

Paperless Ticket Through Mobile

The show ticket feature of the paperless UTS on mobile application reads encrypted 
data stored on the phone and converts it into a readable format. It displays complete 
ticket information with booking time and secret code with different colour scheme 
specified for that day. 
The authenticity of the ticket can be verified in the following ways : 
 
Colour scheme: The colour scheme of the ticket should be correct for that day. 
 
Secret code: The secret code of the day based on ticket destination which is displayed before 
booking time (Secret code is same as already printing on UTS paper tickets). 
 
Booking Time: The booking time of the ticket which will be displayed as last line of ticket 
information. 
 
Scrolling: Whether the legend “IR UNRESERVED TICKETING” is scrolling (This ensures that the 
ticket is not a snapshot of some other ticket). 
 
 
Paperless Ticket Verification

The authenticity of the ticket can be verified in the following ways(cont.) : 
 
Sync Option: If the TTE still has doubts that the ticket being shown is a replica, he can get the 
ticket checked through the UTS server by pressing the ‘sync’ button. When the sync option is 
exercised then all tickets stored in UTS on mobile application phone data base will be deleted 
and only valid ticket will be synced from server and stored in the phone database. Now he can 
check the re synced tickets for the following features as mention previously. 
 
QR Code: The QR code is an additional feature provided in the application. The QR code 
contains encrypted ticket information along with mobile number which cannot be tampered 
with. Unlike the sync option, this feature will work even if passenger’s mobile phone is not 
connected to the internet at the time of ticket checking. 
 TTE can read the QR code by using the application provided in the TTE smart phone. The QR 
code reader will de-crypt the ticket information contained in the QR code and show the details 
to the TTE. TTE can use “call check” option to give a missed call to the mobile number 
displayed. If the passenger (whose ticket is being checked) does not receive the missed call, 
the ticket will not be considered to be genuine.
