Waiting for the train, but tied to your baggage? No worries now. A digital QR-tag based system will secure your bags. Baggage digital locker experiment, a first on the railways that started at Mumbai CSMT two weeks ago seems to have clicked well, with over 2,200 users and over a Rs 1 lakh revenue from it. The idea is now being replicated at some other stations.

The experiment basically involves a digitally enabled locker, where one can store the luggage at the station safely, as it opens only with the QR code scanner on the receipt issued to the holder. This first of its kind project on the railways will not just generate non-fare revenue but also provide improved cloakroom service through secure lockers, digital payment facility, use of QR tags and online receipt generation.
