The Indian Railways will launch in May an integrated mobile application for all travel-related services in order to make journeys hassle-free. The app will include services such as booking tickets, renting rooms, booking tour packages, ordering food from restaurants, hiring taxis and porters.
It would help passengers book reserved and unreserved tickets, including season tickets, as well as buy platform tickets. There will be a common registration and payment account for all types of ticketing.
Expanding the mobile application for unreserved ticketing at all non-suburban stations would help reduce queues at ticket booking counters, eliminate the use of paper tickets and promote digital payment.
The app is part of the non-fare revenue scheme being undertaken by the Indian Railways through scaling up e-commerce activities to earn additional revenue.
