Train tickets can now be booked on mobile phone

Taking e-ticketing to the next level, Railways on Thursday launched a mobile phone-based service for booking train tickets. Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) launched IRCTCmobile, a mobile-based railway ticketing in partnership with US-based firm C-SAM. IRCTCmobile, which has a rich and intuitive user interface, will operate on Javaenabled handsets having GPRS connection, according to an IRCTC release. IRCTC's registered users will need to download IRCTCmobile by sending an SMS to IRCTC. "With the proliferation of the mobile as a ubiquitous device, this initiative shall enable IRCTC to reach further to the masses," said IRCTC MD P K Goel. The facility will be available for all service providers, including telephone companies and banks to make it available to their customers.
