Unreserved Ticketing System (UTS) is Indian Railways' official mobile ticketing application which allows the daily train travelers to book unreserved tickets of Indian Railways using their Smartphone.


The app has five types of ticket booking - Normal booking, quick booking, platform booking, seasonal booking, and QR booking. There are two methods of booking tickets in the UTS app (ie) paperless and paper travel.


In case of paperless travel one has to be outside the station premises and book tickets, and does not need a printout of the ticket.


While in case of the paper travel, one has to book the ticket in app and get a printout from the counter at the concerned station.


As a part of the Government's initiative to promote contactless and cashless ticketing, the UTS app was made available in Hindi a few months ago apart from English language.


In a bid to popularize this app, the railways has installed selfie points in Coimbatore Junction.
