if no details have been received through sms, the options are limited to showing docs in laptop or a printed copy. option is the passengers'. thanks.

Thanks for posting a very Informative blog which im sure will help everyone in long terms ..as you correctly pointed out that showing ticket in laptop is very cumbersome and sms may also get lost ( also mobile may get damaged enroute ) , hence its always a safer option to carry a hard copy ... maybe in future we can have technology which will be environment friendly and user friendly too...
If the SMS gets lost (mobile damaged etc) is not an everyday happening. It may happen once in a while, but then the Rs 50 option of paying through an excess fare ticket is always there...
