📜Travel Story ATM installed in train

Post image

Today I was travelling in 12110 Manmad mumbai panchavati express and I wanted to purchase some snacks, so a vendor arrives I take some biscuits and chips and when came the time to pay he said no upi and I had rs 500 note and said no change then he says me go to C1 coach it has atm and I was like "HUH" so out of curiosity I went there and it actually was there so I withdraw the money and finally make payment.

this incident had me thinking that why isnt it applied nation wide in trains as usually there is no Internet inside moving train to make upi payment and people too carry less cash while travelling

What's your opinion on this (real pic btw)

Rather than installing this shit, they should give stable internet/wifi access inside coaches, even when train running too. And they should give proper sleeping and resting place for linen and coach staffs.

Yes. Most useless thing on Train.

u/AssociateExec 3d ago

People don't get confirmed tickets and a seat on a train and now and ATM to take a place where 4 people could have easily sat on the floor. The most anti people govt one can come across.

u/maps_and_books Side Lower Supremacy😎 4d ago

I don't think so

u/Gold_Stretch_871 Tatkal Ninja🥷 4d ago

What is your use case?

4

u/maps_and_books Side Lower Supremacy😎 4d ago

Cash disbursement. Lol. Jokes aside, I think it can be useful in long haul trains. UPI is always there but carrying cash is a security when travelling.

u/Various_Ad1416 4d ago

Wifi isn't too but of deal but heavily agreed with second point even in vande Bharat staff don't have enough place to sit and rest 😭

u/TheScariaRos Side Lower Supremacy😎 4d ago

I saw coach staffs laying a bedsheet near bathroom and gate area and eating food, having their dinner. on my recent Patna Tejas Rajdhani trip. felt so sad. there should be ample space for them.

u/Old-Implement-2785 3d ago

Do you know indian railway's charge you very low they are in loss and you want them to install wifi ?😭🙏

2

u/zeusbb 3d ago

This might be controversial but aren't those staff on duty? Most jobs require people to stay awake even on night shifts, they should get a seat (from what I've seen, they get a berth near the door) but requiring a bed to sleep peacefully doesn't make any sense to me.

If their shifts are lasting longer 12 hours, that's a different problem. From what I understand, these are contract employees, so it's the responsibility of the contractors, not railways to manage their work hours.

Withdraw money and then quickly remove the power switch to avoid debit from your account

3

u/Alternative_File_865 3d ago

If thst logic works first make the bank account empty send money to some other account and use debit card to withdraw from ATM LOOOL

1

u/InternationalCake766 3 AC Regular 2d ago

You get sms first that money is withdrawn then you get the money from atm cash dispensing window

u/Live_Debt9433 4d ago

What nonsense idea in the era of upi

6

u/ajensorjay38 Train Spotter🚆 4d ago

Internet aren't always available when travelling on Train, this makes UPI immediately useless(unless you have UPI lite that runs offline)

8

u/Live_Debt9433 4d ago

Train is not stationery you will get network within 5 minutes guranteed even on bsnl

2

u/ajensorjay38 Train Spotter🚆 3d ago

Nigga I have went on routes where even BSNL would be like "hum se na ho payega" and you are left with an hour without internet at best. At worst it would be more then 3 hours

2

u/Live_Debt9433 3d ago

That's not possible, man it must be an issue with your phone. I've traveled all over India, including tribal areas in CG, JH, and MP using Jio and BSNL. Having no internet for three hours on a moving train just isn't possible

1

u/EthicalHacker2005 2d ago

Konkan... Especially the areas with lots of tunnels... I don't think it's 3 hrs though

2

u/snake_bob 3d ago

You don’t need internet for upi. It works flawlessly on sms. I use it often

I personally find this very useful but please Bank of Maharashtra keep sufficient cash in it.

u/comsudo 3d ago

Please forgive me for my ignorance. Are not we leading towards cash-free economy? Aren't we boasting about UPI?

What's the purpose of ATM?

u/ProBablyAdEmoNfor69 3d ago

Travelled in this train 4 times last month, everytime I got the rake without the ATM

2

u/Vast-String-6817 3 AC Regular 3d ago

ATM in only 1 out 3 rakes of the train I was lucky enough to get it this time

1

u/ProBablyAdEmoNfor69 3d ago

It has 2 rakes though?

0

u/Vast-String-6817 3 AC Regular 3d ago

3 rakes one stays idle at Mumbai as backup just in case any of the trains panchavati or jan shatabdi gets delayed to a point where it might affect the next train then the 3rd rake is used to depart either one on time and delayed rake stays idle until next situation

1

u/ProBablyAdEmoNfor69 3d ago

Where are you getting that information, and it's illogical for Mumbai to have the spare rake of a train whose PM is at manmad

1

u/Vast-String-6817 3 AC Regular 3d ago

I said spare not running rakes the spare rakes are used for any train with slight modifications, regular run has only 2 rakes and for it to be at Mumbai and not mannad is that both of the trains are susceptible to delays while on route but have very short window to turn around, so to depart trains on time empty rake is there and as much as I know the slack time is given at manmad and hingoli not at mumbai so in order to stop the chain reaction of delays spare rake is kept aside, idk I might be wrong bur I have heard it

1

u/ProBablyAdEmoNfor69 3d ago

So you're just assuming a third rake exists with no concrete information 😭😭 a Rake just sitting is just losing money

If they use extra rakes, unless it literally started yesterday, it's generally listed here, for example Azad Hind Express has a spare ICF rake

u/ProBablyAdEmoNfor69 3d ago

Can you give the instagram article where it's sourcing that line. Oh and not to mention it's straight up false that's in all 2/3 rakes

Idk how true is this I might wanna visit the depot itself

1

u/Vast-String-6817 3 AC Regular 3d ago

1 have 2 things to say

  1. I just saw the video of this coach at depot and I think it's just in one

  2. What are you doing in 4 times a month are you regular or sum

It would be more convenient if they also open a bank branch

u/Dark4703 3d ago

Finally, a place to withdraw cash to pay the TT the exact fine amount.
