Bengaluru: Self-service QR-based ticketing system introduced at Baiyappanahalli Metro station
Bengaluru: In a move to enhance commuter convenience and reduce ticketing queues, 10 new self-service QR-based ticketing machines have been installed at Baiyappanahalli Metro Station in Bengaluru.
The initiative by Namma Metro allows passengers to obtain their tickets in under 30 seconds through a user-friendly two-step process.
To use the machines, commuters simply need to select their destination via a drop-down menu or map displayed on the screen, enter the number of passengers, and review the fare. Payment is made via any UPI-based mobile application, ensuring a swift and cashless transaction. Upon successful payment, the machine issues a paper QR ticket, which can be scanned at the entry and exit gates of the metro station.
According to Namma Metro authorities, the new system is aimed at improving efficiency, promoting digital transactions, and easing congestion during peak hours.

We'll work with truth, non-violence to remove Modi-RSS govt: Rahul
New Delhi (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said his party stands with "satya (truth)" and vowed to remove the "Narendra Modi-RSS government".
Addressing the party's 'Vote Chor Gaddi Chhod' rally at the Ramlila Maidan here, he launched a scathing attack on the Election Commission and mentioned the names of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, and Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi to allege that they were working for the BJP.
"We will stand with 'satya' (truth) and will remove the Narendra Modi-RSS government from power. They have 'satta' (power), and they indulge in 'vote chori'," the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said.
Gandhi claimed that the BJP transferred Rs 10,000 during elections, but the poll panel did not take any action against them. "In this fight between truth and untruth, the Election Commission is working with the BJP government," he said.
"(Prime Minister Narendra) Modi brought a new law to give immunity to EC; we will change this law retroactively and act against election commissioners," Gandhi said.
Asserting that it may take time, but truth will ultimately win, he said, "We'll work with truth and non-violence to defeat Modi and (Amit) Shah."
