E-Ticketing
Booking rail tickets through the IRCTC website is going to be hassle-free for now. The new e-ticketing system developed by Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS) would allow booking of 7200 tickets per minute against 2000 tickets through the existing system. Some of the salient features of the new IT initiatives/applications are; Next Generation e-ticketing (NGeT); NGet system which can book 7200 online tickets instead of 2000 tickets per minute, attending 2,00,000 enquiries instead of 50000 per minute. Passengers can now easily track information relating to arrivals and departure timings of trains and other information on their mobile phones as CRIS has launched a mobile app.
