So it begins: You will need to provide NID number to buy train tickets!

From now on, you will have to provide the name, mobile number, as well as national ID card (NID) or birth registration number to buy train tickets.

Bangladesh Railway is going to bring this new addition to train tickets.

Railway's online ticket management company CNSBD sources said that when buying a ticket, the name of the customer, mobile number, NID number or birth registration number will have to be provided.

This system has been introduced on 15% of the Sonar Bangla Train, as part of the pilot project. Bangladesh Railway wants to launch it on all trains within the next three months.
