The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) says it has commenced the e-ticketing for train services on the Abuja-Kaduna route.
NRC Managing Director, Fidet Okhiria, announced Wednesday in Abuja that the process would be on test run for a week before its formal inauguration on January 20.
“We have commenced the e-ticketing for the Abuja -Kaduna train service today. We intend to test-run this process for about a week after which the formal inauguration will be done at the Ministry of Transportation on Jan. 20.
“The essence of this e-ticketing is to enable people to access tickets easily with fewer hurdles and especially during this period of social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” he said.
Okhiria said the e-ticketing platform will guarantee orderliness in the purchasing of tickets and address some major security challenges in the country.
