Railway coupons

NEW DELHI, May: The Delhi Division of Northern Railway is introducing Coupon Validating Machines to reduce waiting time at the booking counters for local commuters. Booklets with travel coupons of different denominations totalling either Rs 30 or Rs 50 will be sold. During any suburban journey, the commuter will now just need to check the fare on the chart and punch in the required denomination of coupons. The holder of the punched coupon will have the authority to travel like a ticket holder. The coupons will be valid for 15 months.
