MYANMA Railways has announced that, from 4 April, a service fee will be charged for online train ticket purchases made through the ORTP system on the Yangon-Nay Pyi Taw-Mandalay route.
A service fee of K200 will apply, although children under the age of three and passengers without seats will be exempt.
An official from Myanma Railways explained that no additional charges apply beyond the service fee. Tickets can be purchased either online or at railway stations via the ORTP system, and no intermediary or representative is required for individuals or organizations. The system has been under trial at stations along the Yangon–Nay Pyi Taw–Mandalay route since 1 February, making ticket purchasing easier and more convenient.
At present, services operating on this route include trains 7 Up/8 Down Yangon-Nay Pyi Taw-Yangon DEMU, 31 Up/32 Down Yangon-Nay Pyi Taw-Yangon DEMU, 33 Up/34 Down Yangon-Nay Pyi Taw-Yangon DEMU, 11 Up/12 Down Yangon-Mandalay-Yangon, and 27 Up/28 Down Nay Pyi Taw-Mandalay Airbag. — ASH/MKKS
