A nice step. But India really needs at least two-fold more number of trains. I never find a train to go long distance if I do not book atleast 45 days ahead of journey. Can we dream for the day when we can book a long distance train whenever required!
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee launched the facility on Thursday at a programme in Kolkata. The official said that a person having Internet connection on a mobile can avail the facility by downloading the mobile ticketing application on the phone from the new Indian Railways portal.
“The passenger need not carry a printout of his or her ticket and will have to just show the SMS,” said a senior Railway Ministry official.
Indian Railways has taken a revolutionary step by offering passengers with e-ticket facility on their cell phones. The railways has done away with the normal print outs thus reducing wastage of paper and enhancing convenience for the people.
