Much felt need among railway commuters, however a Stored-value card solution which integrates w/ SLTB & Other Taxi Operators would be the best Cx experience for citizens & tourists @SLRailwayForum @DailyNews_lk #DigitalSriLanka #SriLanka #lka pic.twitter.com/XVWLQHT88q

The proposed Smart Train Ticket would contain a QR code as in the above image which includes details of the passenger and trip. Ticket dispenser machines would be installed at railway stations and ticket collectors would be given a QR code reader to scan Smart Tickets.

Sri Lanka Railway Department might enable online ticket booking with this upcoming project.
