Where to Buy the Tickets From?

It’s always better to purchase the ticket in advance so that you don’t have to get in line. Remember that if you’re buying the return ticket also in advance, it will only be valid till midnight of the following day. 

The tickets can be bought from the following modes: 

1. Ticket Booking Office: Travelers can buy tickets from the booking counter that’s available at the station itself. But one needs to remember that the payment can only be made in cash and the journey has to start in an hour after the purchase of the ticket. 

2. ATVM: ATVM are available at all stations from where one can buy first and second-class single or return tickets. Furthermore, ATVMs can also be used to renew season tickets. You can also buy Smart Cards that can be bought from any booking offices at the stations and can be recharged as per requirements.

3. JTBS: JTBS is a scheme under which several counters are provided outside the stations from where the commuters can buy unreserved tickets by paying Rs. 1 extra per ticket. 

4. IRCTC: The official website of the Indian Railways has a provision for booking the seasoned tickets of the Mumbai Suburban Railways online only.
