🚉 A Real Problem for UTS App Users in Mumbai
If you use the UTS app (Unreserved Ticketing System) by Indian Railways, you know this:
When you reach a station and want to book a paperless ticket using the app, you have to scan a Station QR Code — the one physically printed somewhere at the station.
But here’s the issue:
- The QR code is not easy to find
- It’s often placed at just one end of a crowded station
- You might have to walk across platforms or rush before your train leaves
- As a field worker, salesperson, or daily traveler, you often don’t even know which station you’ll stop at next
All of this makes it hard to book a quick UTS ticket — which should’ve been fast in the first place.
😤 My Personal Frustration
I often travel across Mumbai for work — sometimes hopping between 3–5 stations a day. And there were so many moments like this:
I get down at a station.
I open the UTS app to book a quick ticket.
It says: “Scan station QR code.”
But… where is the code?
It’s nowhere near me. I have to walk to the other side or miss the booking.
Sometimes I even have to go to the counter — wasting time.
I realized: the QR codes are public and fixed — so why not just make them digitally accessible?
💡 So I Built This: utsqrscan.doableyo.com
A free tool that instantly shows the official QR code of each station, so users can scan it from their UTS app without walking around or hunting for signs.
🛠️ What It Does:
- Let’s you select a station
- Shows the exact QR code used by UTS
- You just scan it from your phone screen
- Done — ticket booked, no extra walking
It works for all major stations — especially across Mumbai’s local Western, Central, and Harbour lines.
🔍 The Search Feature Makes It Even Easier
One of the best parts of utsqrscan.doableyo.com is the built-in search. Instead of scrolling through a long list of stations, you can just:
- Start typing your station name — like Borivali, Dadar, or Kurla
- Instantly get the exact station’s QR code
- Scan it right from your UTS app
This makes it super fast, especially when you’re on the move and don’t want to waste time hunting.
Whether you’re catching a train from Churchgate or a last-minute change drops you at Vashi, just search, scan, and go.
🧑💼 Who It Helps
