Indian Railways are planning to install ATMs in selected trains."We already have ATMs in many stations. Now, as a further step, we are planning to install ATMs in some trains as a pilot project," said a senior railway ministry official."We are in discussion with some banks to finalise the ATM project", said the official adding a feasibility study is also being commissioned to study the proposed ATM plan.In the first phase, ATMs would be installed in popular trains and later on depending upon the success of the facility it would be extended to other trains.Beside ATMs in trains and platforms, railways are planning to install about 6,000 automatic ticket vending machines across the country, beginning with Mumbai and Bangalore, selling platform tickets and unreserved train tickets.Installation of ATVMs would help reduce the rush at ticket counters of daily passengers.
