Railways Provide Train Info via Multiple Channels
Passengers can get information about train arrivals, departures, and coach positions through various ways, like the RailOne app and displays at stations.
Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw told the Lok Sabha that these facilities are available.
However, an MP named Kaushalendra Kumar said that some stations, like Bihar Sharif and Rajgir, don't have these systems, which makes it hard for passengers, especially older people, women, and those who are sick.
The minister replied that information is also given through announcements and signs at stations.
Passengers can access train information through multiple channels, including the RailOne mobile application.
Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw responded to concerns raised by MP Kaushalendra Kumar about the lack of coach display and train indicator systems at certain stations.
Information is also provided through station infrastructure like Coach Guidance System (CGS), Coach Indication Boards (CIBs), Train Indication Boards (TIBs), and announcements.
The MP highlighted the inconvenience caused to passengers, particularly senior citizens, women, and patients, due to the absence of these facilities.
The government assured that information is available through various platforms and station-based systems.
