Indian Railways launches booking app; here’s how to buy General tickets
As of today, rail commuters can use a mobile phone app to obtain tickets in the unreserved category as the Indian Railways takes forward its initiative for paperless ticketing.
“We have launched a mobile-based paperless unreserved ticketing application,” said a senior Railway Ministry official.
Apart from being a green initiative, the paperless ticketing system would also save time for passengers as it allows them to avoid lining up at the ticket window.
he App will be available for cellphones running on the Android operating systems. An App for Blackberry will be available later.
