Unreserved railway tickets, which are bought by 16 million passengers daily in India, will soon be available through cell phones, thanks to a major IT initiative of Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS). The CRIS official also announced that the IT-based unreserved Ticketing System (UTS), which began six years ago as a pilot project to dispense unreserved tickets through a wider and universal access to information technology, would be extended to 6,275 stations.
