SLT-Mobitel, with Sri Lanka Railways (SLR) and Department of Pensions has enabled pensioners to enjoy a seamless railway transport experience by integrating the pension warrant process to SLT-Mobitel’s state-of-the-art mTicketing platform, a media release from the company stated.
The launch of the digitalisation of the pension warrant took place recently at the Colombo Divisional Secretariat with senior representatives from State institutions, Sri Lanka Railways, the Department of Pensions, and SLT-Mobitel in attendance.
Previously, eTickets and eWarrant were available for public and public servants through SLT-Mobitel’s fully-fledged digital system to reserve tickets online. Symbolising an important advancement in the modernisation of railway services in Sri Lanka, now pensioners too can book train tickets conveniently from the comfort of their homes through the user-friendly digital platform.
The launch builds on the success of SLT-Mobitel’s online reservation system unveiled last year for general passengers. The extension to include pension warrants represents an important step forward to ensure that railway ticketing is now completely digitalised for all user segments.
