KSRTC introduces QR code ticketing

Mysuru: The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) has launched a QR code-based ticketing system, allowing passengers to make UPI payments quickly and conveniently. The system, introduced on a trial basis, is currently available on the Flybus service from Mysuru to Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport, with plans for phased implementation in Mysuru within 10 days, according to KSRTC Mysuru Divisional Controller Srinivas.

The new QR code ticketing upgrade is intended to simplify travel for the thousands of KSRTC passengers who rely on these services daily. Each ticket now generates a unique, dynamic QR code that autofills the payable amount, enhancing security with features such as password protection and access management. Passengers can scan the code with any UPI-enabled app, completing payments that are instantly transferred to KSRTC’s account.

In addition, the Mysuru Division of South Western Railway (SWR) will soon launch a campaign to popularise QR code-based ticketing for general and platform tickets, making the process of purchasing tickets simpler and more accessible. This step highlights a shift towards digital convenience, streamlining ticketing for travelers across both bus and rail networks.
