The biometric machine is being used for the general class coaches of the following trains:

>Amravati Express (Mumbai Central station)

>Jaipur Superfast Express (Mumbai Central station)

>Karnavati Express (Mumbai Central station)

>Gujarat Mail (Mumbai Central station)

>Golden Temple Mail (Mumbai Central station)

>Paschim Express (Bandra Terminus)

>Amaravati Express (Bandra Terminus)

>Avadh Express (Bandra Terminus)

>Maharashtra Sampark Kranti Express (Bandra Terminus)

Now, passengers of general coaches will have to get their fingerprints scanned at the biometric machine, after which a token will be generated. The total number of tokens will be in line with the number of seats in a particular general class coach. 

This will guarantee the availability of seats and also help prevent stampede-like situations.
