The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation will soon move to Android-based ticket issuing machines. The move is expected to allow passengers to book tickets 15 minutes before departure of buses.
Called i-TIMS, the move is touted as passenger-friendly and is expected to save time. As many as 928 i-TIMS will be procured.
These machines will be operated on long-distance routes where the online bookings and reservations are being closed an hour before departure. Payments can be made using debit and credit cards, and by means of UPI.
