Now one can book air tickets through a new mobile application which will be launched this week by the Railways. The integrated mobile app will cater to various needs of passengers like booking porter, retiring room, ordering food besides train tickets.

It is being developed by the CRIS, the Railways’ software arm, at an estimated cost of Rs seven crore, said a senior Railway Ministry official involved with the project.

The official said currently there are multiple apps of the Railways to cater to various passenger requirement, including on board cleaning but most of them offer only a single service.

Mobile app users need to search and download each application separately and need to give a single window interface for these services, the official said.
