Text of the circular

passengers queuing up at the Ticket counters at the Railway Stations. ATVMs are touch screen 
based ticketing kiosks operated using Smart cards. The passenger can purchase and recharge 
the Smart cards from nominated ticket counters. The Smart card has to be placed on slot in 
the ATVM and user has to select the route and destination using the touch screen. After the 
confirming the details, the ticket is printed. Once the ticket is issued the charge is debited from 
the Smart card. 
Over Mumbai division of Central Railway presently 660 ATVMs and 123 Smart cards recharge 
counters are available at 73 stations. This system is gradually being popularized among the 
commuters and presently this system is carrying 23% of overall tickets.

are printed on machine. For information the steps to generate ticket through ATVM are given
