QR code payment introduced for food items in long-distance trains !

(QR Code stands for Quick Response Code and is a type of code similar to a barcode)

New Delhi – The railway administration has come up with a solution after receiving several complaints about food vendors in long-distance trains charging passengers more than the original price.

Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has printed the QR code in the menu card itself. The sales staff will wear this card around their neck. After purchasing any food item, the passenger can pay the exact price mentioned on the menu card through QR code. This facility will be implemented in all IRCTC trains.
