Ukrzaliznytsia has started beta testing a new feature - auto-purchase of tickets for domestic trains. This is reported by UNN with reference to the press service of UZ.
Details
The agency emphasizes that the new feature can only be used by users who are authorized through Diia.Signature. It is noted that in test mode , two types of monitoring are available:
- monitoring for trains that are already on sale (with the ability to track the availability of specific seats);
- monitoring for destinations (with the ability to track the availability of trains between selected cities).
When monitoring a specific train, you can also enable the automatic ticketing function. To do this, you need to enter passenger data and pay for the order: when the function is activated, funds will be withdrawn immediately, and if the monitoring is canceled or the required tickets are not found, the funds will be returned to the card automatically
It indicates that when the required tickets are found, users will receive push notifications in the app. If the auto-buy feature is activated, users will receive push notifications about already redeemed tickets.
Addendum
The company warns that when using the test app, real funds will be withdrawn, and tickets purchased in test mode will be valid for travel.
Therefore, we advise you not to create a lot of monitoring with auto-purchase if you do not plan to be a passenger on dozens of flights at the same time
The company also asks users to immediately report any problems with the new features via the Feedback section of the app.
Recall
In 2023 , 84.6% of railway tickets were sold online through the services of Ukrzaliznytsia and its partners. The use of the Ukrzaliznytsia mobile application also increased by 23.2% to 37.9%.
