Modern day passengers are unlike the passengers of the yesteryears. They are more curious. Everything they see poses a question in their minds and they start seeking answers to it. In a way this curiosity has been brought about by the free-flow of information environment that the World Wide Web presents. There is answer to every weird or enthusiastic query on this medium. But sadly, Indian Railways is not an organization that provides or practices the policy of free-flow of information. There are important pieces of information that are not available for the passengers. So, the curiosities of the modern day passengers went unanswered so far. There is fine difference between curiosity and necessity. The necessary information is available in Railways managed websites and other live train status apps. But none of them bother to answer the curious questions. Yes, you will find key information related to pnr status, train between two stations, arrival and departure of trains, etc. But are these the only information the present day passengers seek? Not at all, they deserve and crave for more intuitive information. This is what RailYatri app offers to their users, apart from the basic functionalities mentioned above.

 

How RailYatri Meets Your Curiosities?

 

1.     Passing by Station Information: Whether you are travelling alone or with the family there are many questions that arise in your mind when the train passes by a station. You are not satisfied just viewing the Placard proclaiming the name of the station. You want to know the titbits around the station. You are eager to understand what the station is famous for, what is the history of the station and other such facts. You can learn about these by simply visiting the Rail Wisdom section of our app.

2.     Food Preferences: When you have nothing to do on a long train route, craving for good food increases. There are certain food specialities of each city in India. But the passengers, thus far, never knew about them. You can easily learn about the famous food available at the station, or the station stalls that sell such food by going through the Rail Wisdoms.

3.     Judge the Speed of Train: Passengers are very curious to learn this fact. They always feel that the train is running slow. So, why not use the Speedometer option present in the app. The app uses your GPS to judge how fast the train is moving and gives a rating that is clear to understand. You can learn about the exact speed of the train using this feature.

4.     Top Passenger Routes: If you thought that maximum people in a train travel from the source station to destination station, then this myth is about to be busted. Visit the “Top 5 Routes of Train” section and enter the train name or number. You will find some astonishing statistics. Popular routes for most trains are intermediate stations and the train only leaves half filled from the source station. Bet you never knew this when searching through the Indian Railways time table.

5.     Exact Location: Well, there are many apps that provide a rough live train status based on the last updates. When you use the RailYatri app, you will get exact location of the train. The app uses your GPS location to decide the location of the train. It helps you spot train running status on mobile. You can even share the unique link with friends and family using the “Trip Sharing” feature in the app. The app shows the exact location, delay time and distance left to be covered.
