Mumbai Local train tickets over the counter
As we entered Bhayander ticket counter (one of the suburbs in western railways), we were faced by few angry commutators cursing system about not issuing the ticket.
I asked one of them if the tickets are being issued as per announcement, got an angry reply "These people don't care about poor people, they are making getting a ticket impossible for the poor"
I got sceptic but still wanted to get the first hand experience.
I approached the ticket counter and asked for a Borivali return ticket. I showed my Aadhar card and the Universal Travel Pass/ Mumbai local covid pass softcopy on my mobile and the lady quickly took the required money and handed me the ticket!!
I was happy to get the ticket and was confused as why others were not able to get it.
I decided to investigate it further, so I just stood nearby the ticket counter and started observing.
One gentleman got into an argument with the ticket staff saying he is already fully vaccinated and is also having the Cowin certificate. Still he was not given the ticket as Universal Travel Pass is mandatory.
Another lady came with an Aarogya Setu certificate printout and was denied the ticket.
