VNR to introduce e-ticket systems next month

This is the second phase of an ongoing e-ticket sale project jointly implemented by the VNR and FPT Group since November last year.

Under the project, travellers are able to complete online bookings and select types of tickets, seats and schedules for all trains.

They can also make online payments, get e-receipts and print tickets without having to go to the station.

With ticket details sent to their email or by text message matching the personal information on their identity cards, passengers only need to show their e-ticket numbers and identity cards to board the train.

The FPT Group has completed the relevant facilities for the process, including software for ticket sales as well as other IT infrastructure such as printers, ticket scanners and portable ticket inspectors.
