Question

How e-ticketing has been effective in reducing corruption from booking system

Answer 1

E-ticketing in India will reduce corruption.  Already in many transport corporations it is in practice.  We book railway, flight and bus tickets through the e-tickets. 

Long ago the tickets were booked manually. People had to go to booking centers and booking agents. At that time during heavy rush periods (like holidays), the agents or clerks could charge money for giving ticket/reservations ahead of others.

But now, most of the tickets are booked on line.  So there is little chance for any agent or person to take bribes to book a ticket.   But there can be some ways people take bribes or commissions and do booking.  But it is reduced to a large extent as most of the places are purchased through automatic electronic ticketing systems through computers and mobile phones using the internet.

So the booking clerks or the Ticket checking personnel cannot take money from the passengers.

Answer 2

E- Ticketing is an useful way of reducing corruption because in E- Ticketing the specific and required amount of money is transferred from our accounts in any bank. So the officials will not have a percent chance to make any profit of their own. We can also have a print out proof of having made a payment through the Internet and there is no chance of us being made fool.We also save time as the time to make tickets at the booking center is reduced.
