August 25, Colombo (LNW): The Ministry of Transport has rolled out a digital ticketing system for train passengers, accessible through the Pravesha platform at pravesha.lk.
Commuters can now easily purchase second and third class tickets online using debit or credit cards.
After completing the transaction, a QR code is sent via SMS or email, valid only on the specified date.
Although seat reservations are yet to be included, travellers can buy tickets up to a week in advance through this platform.
This initiative marks a significant step in modernising the nation’s railway services, offering greater convenience and reducing queues at stations.
