Railways launch new app to help book unreserved tickets

You can now book your unreserved train ticket through your cellphone as railways has launched a new IRCTC app for unreserved ticketing.

Payments for the same can also be made through e-wallets such as Paytm and Mobikwik.

The app will also be linked to cab aggregators such as Uber and Ola through which passengers will be able to book their cabs as well.

Railway ministry is also contemplating exploring the advertising potential of this app to rake in extra revenue through corporate tie ups with hotels, cab aggregators and other such utility companies.
