I had been to KR Puram railway station (Railway code KJM) to book train tickets. Assuming there would be ATMs available in the vicinity of railway station, To my bad luck, hardly there were any within railway station. On enquiry, I found one AXIS bank ATM around 300 m cross road to front side of KR Puram railway station. That was under repair!
Again I went on looking for next near by ATM on the back side of railway station and I found Canara bank ATM around 200m and it agreed to give me money on swiping. Thanks to Canara bank.
Railways is the most busiest and profitable organization run by Govt. I understand it would cost them to provide swiping machines at all railway reservation counters and that require huge infrastructure..
But I believe it would benefit more to people than setting up wifi in railway stations.
It helps because:
1. People need not carry money with them and thus they need not bother about safety when carrying money
2. Government would be able to track the transactions and can document/track the money.
