Railways have decided to install nearly 900 automatic ticket vending machines at stations across the country for the convenience of daily commuters and reduce queues at counters during rush hours. <br/><br/>A Railway Ministry official said, the vending machines, which operate like ATMs, were first introduced a couple of years back in Central Railway, Western Railway and Southern Railway. <br/><br/>He said, the response was much to our satisfaction. Railways have now decided to install 896 more machines across the country. <br/><br/>Smart cards will be used to purchase the tickets. Passengers can select the destination by making a choice on the touch screen. <br/>
