RailOne Glitch Puts Ticketless Travel Back on Track
A geo‑fencing flaw in Mumbai’s newly launched RailOne ticketing app lets passengers purchase unreserved tickets while the train is in motion, bypassing the system’s safeguard against ticketless travel. The problem surfaced during a routine ticket‑checking drive on a Kalyan‑bound AC local, prompting Central Railway to alert the Centre for Railway Information Systems for an urgent fix.

Officials warn that without rapid remediation and broader capacity upgrades, the glitch could exacerbate congestion and commuter dissatisfaction.
