Indian Railways brings general tickets to phones via RailOne app

Trains are a very popular way to travel in India.

Buying a train ticket without a reserved seat used to mean standing in a long line at the station.

Now Indian Railways has made it easier.

People can book these unreserved general tickets on their phones using an app called RailOne.

This means they can book from home instead of waiting in a queue.

If they pay using digital methods like UPI or a card, they get a 3% discount.

The app works on both iPhones and Android phones.

The railway shared the news on X, which used to be called Twitter.

This change helps reduce crowding at station counters.

It also encourages more people to use digital payments for train travel.
