No more ticket queues: RailOne app lets you book general train tickets from your phone

Queue escape

Long waits at railway ticket counters could soon become a thing of the past for passengers travelling in general coaches. Indian Railways’ RailOne App allows users to book unreserved train tickets directly from their smartphones, helping them avoid crowded counters and last-minute rush before boarding.

Mobile ticket

The traditional paper-ticket queue is getting a digital replacement. Through the RailOne App, passengers can select their journey details, pay online and receive a QR code-based unreserved ticket directly on their phone, making the entire process possible before reaching the station.

Discount bonus

Railway passengers are not just getting convenience but also a financial benefit. The digital ticketing system offers a 3% discount on unreserved ticket bookings made through the app, encouraging travellers to move towards online payments instead of cash-based counter transactions.

App revolution

RailOne App is being promoted as a one-stop digital platform for railway services. The move is aimed at reducing congestion at station counters while making ticket booking faster through options such as UPI, net banking, credit cards and debit cards.

Booking steps

Getting a general ticket digitally does not require complicated steps. Passengers need to download RailOne, log in using their IRCTC account or create a new profile, select the unreserved ticket option, enter stations and complete payment to get their QR ticket.

Travel change

The shift towards mobile ticketing could change how millions of daily railway passengers begin their journeys. By allowing travellers to secure unreserved tickets before arriving at stations, RailOne aims to make train travel smoother, quicker and less dependent on physical ticket counters.
