Sri Lanka Railways has introduced a new digital ticketing platform, enabling passengers to purchase train tickets online for the first time. 

The service, branded as Pravesha, is accessible through the official website www.pravesha.lk and the dedicated Pravesha mobile app.

Passengers can now buy their tickets online by entering travel details and making payments via credit or debit card. 

Once the purchase is complete, electronic tickets are delivered instantly through SMS or email. 

At railway stations and inside trains, tickets can be validated using the QR code displayed on the e‑ticket.

The initiative is part of the wider national digitalization drive aimed at modernizing public transport services. (Newswire)
