The website strives for a hassle-free and user-friendly experience for prospective passengers searching for reservation or seat availability. Further, Indian railways website has launched mobile accessibility through SMS booking and applications, popularly known as ‘apps’ that can be downloaded on smart phones.

As long as you are equipped with an online account ID, accessing train routes, fares and seat availability from the comfort of your home could not have been easier. The sixty day binding time period for long distance journeys may be rendered non-binding on the occasions of urgent ticket booking requirements. For all such pressing cases, the wonderful Tatkal Ticket Booking system has been introduced that made tickets available within twenty-four hours of the journey date.

The modernization of Indian Railway Seat Availability has taken a step ahead with the introduction of ‘Mushkil Aasaan’. These vans are parked at various pre-determined locations implementing ‘the idea of taking the issuance of computerized tickets both reserved and UN-reserved to both urban and rural areas so that poor people who are unable to go to the stations can now purchase tickets in market places, mohalls and other busy places’.

Although the number of ticket booking facilities accessible to the average railway passenger today far exceeds what our forefathers could ever have imagined, it certainly does not guarantee every online user a seat on the desired train. Prior to festive periods or common vacation dates, e-tickets vanish within seconds of their going on sale leaving many users irate and looking for alternatives that they only find in travel agents who charge exorbitant commission fees for their services of almost magically producing tickets in the least hopeful circumstances. The prayers for railway seat availability is still very much there, perhaps much easier now with the comfort of chairs positioned opposite computer screens instead of newspaper mats before the dingy booking counters, and freshly made coffee instead of the flask-held one.
