NEW DELHI: 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.
The system, developed at a cost of Rs 180 crore, will ensure that 1.2 lakh concurrent users can book e-tickets simultaneously against the earlier capacity of 40,000 concurrent users at a time.
An official said, "The next generation e-ticketing software will do away with the problems of non-availability of website like user sessions getting terminated."
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 mobile app and desktop app for Windows 8 platform. The app is available free of cost for window 8 phones and the railways plan to launch it on android platform very soon.
The best feature of the new app is 'spot your train' which provides information such as current position, expected time of arrival and departure at a particular station. Other important features are 'train schedule', 'train between stations', 'information on cancelled, rescheduled and diverted trains' and 'live station'.
Rail travelers would get the list of trains expected to arrive at or depart from any station in next two or four hours through 'Live Station' query.
Railways also launched a series of IT-enabled initiatives for rail users including Go-India smart card. The card would reduce the transaction time at booking counters as there will not be cash handling during issuance of tickets.
