India is a country which has the world’s largest railway network. The common problems faced by the passengers is that they have to stand in longs Queues for booking the tickets for suburban railway. Though the technology is advancing still the problem exist we can consider an example of Dadar station it’s one of the busiest station where these long queues can be seen Frequently. To overcome this Queues, different methodologies are used like ATVM (Automatic Ticket Vending Machines) machines are introduced which is linked with smart card and now at present its also linked with UTS Application. This smartcard used can be purchased and recharged at ticket counter. The UTS application build is with android platform since android has major hold of the market, considering the present scenario. The ticket can be booked using the application(Softcopy). Later on, CO-ATVM machines were introduces which is an extension of ATVM machine which involves payment through Notes/Coins. There is also other method which involves use of GPS technology, where the user has to enable GPS through UTS application. Also, the other proposed method is the use of ZigBee and RFID technology linked with ATVM machine, the ticket generated with RFID is to be shown on the doors, then door opens automatically closes back in sometime. The main focus of this study is to identify the ATVM machine usage as ignored facility. Suggestions for future prospects of totally eliminating queues are also addressed.
