You might not believe it, but I recently booked a Tatkal ticket for the Ganga Satluj Express, 3rd AC, at just ₹1,500—even though an agent was asking for ₹2,500! I booked it myself at 12:30 PM. Let me share how this was possible in today’s 90 Days of Exploring Indian Tech series.
Easier Tatkal Ticket Booking: My Experience
Recently, the government announced that booking railway tickets would become easier from July 1. Like many, I was skeptical at first, thinking it was just another empty promise. But when I tried the newly released RailOne app from Indian Railways, I was genuinely surprised.
- Simple and Clean User Interface: The app is user-friendly and easy to navigate.
- All Ticket Types in One Place: You can book reserved, unreserved, and even platform tickets directly from the app.
- Hassle-Free Tatkal Booking: I easily booked a Tatkal ticket for my relative, even during the afternoon Tatkal rush at 12:30 PM.
- No Middleman Fees: Since I booked directly through the app, I avoided paying extra charges to agents.
Much-Needed Change
Indian Railways has truly improved the ticket booking experience with RailOne. Thanks to their hard work, booking Tatkal tickets is now more straightforward and fast. If you haven’t tried the RailOne app yet, give it a shot—you’ll enjoy the new features!
