How will this help passengers in Danapur Division?
Currently, the division has 54 operational ATVMs. With 90 new machines, the total capacity will increase significantly.

Passengers on major routes like Buxar-Patna, Gaya-Patna, and Rajgir-Patna will find it easier to get tickets quickly without waiting in long queues.
What other facilities are being added?
Apart from the new machines, the railway administration will also increase the number of UTS (Unreserved Ticketing System) counters at major stations. This combined effort aims to manage the passenger rush more efficiently and provide faster ticketing services.
