RailOne App: 3% additional bonus discount on unreserved tickets
With the aim of giving new momentum to the digital revolution of Indian Railways and providing passengers with a world-class, simple and hassle-free travel experience, Northern Railway’s Jammu Division has made a special appeal to passengers to make maximum use of the Railway’s official and multi-purpose super app ‘RailOne’. The main objective of Jammu Division is to reduce unnecessary crowds at ticket counters at railway stations and to develop the passengers’ smartphone itself as a complete railway service centre, so that they do not face any kind of inconvenience during their journey, Railways said on Thursday.
‘RailOne’ is a modern and integrated digital platform developed by Indian Railways. Earlier, passengers had to download several different apps on their mobile phones for ticket booking, train location and other facilities, but now with the arrival of the RailOne super app, all major railway facilities have become available under one roof. Through this single app, passengers can book their unreserved (general) and platform tickets in just a few seconds without standing in any queue, make ticket reservations and instantly get accurate information about the current status of their PNR. In addition, moment-to-moment updates of the train’s actual location, expected arrival and departure time, platform number and coach position are also available on the app, which helps in avoiding rushing at the station. During the journey, passengers can also avail facilities like ordering fresh food (e-catering) on their seat, booking wheelchair and porter service for Divyangjan and senior citizens, and connecting to the ‘Rail Madad’ portal for quick resolution of any problem.
Using the RailOne app is not only convenient for passengers, but is also extremely beneficial financially. Passengers booking unreserved tickets through this app are being given a direct benefit of three percent additional bonus discount. This bonus amount is deposited directly into the passenger’s R-Wallet, which can be used for the next ticket booking in future. Apart from this, being a digital ticket, paper is saved, environmental protection is promoted and the worry of losing or tearing the ticket also ends. Fully secure digital payment options like UPI, Debit and Credit Card, Net Banking and R-Wallet are available in the app, which saves the passengers’ valuable time and there is no fear of missing the train.
Throwing light on this important digital initiative, Senior Divisional Commercial Manager, Jammu, Shri Uchit Singhal said, “RailOne app is a smart, fast and most reliable digital solution for passengers in today’s time. Our firm resolve is that Jammu Division should remain a leader among all divisions of Indian Railways in the field of digitalisation and passenger facilities. The active cooperation of every passenger is extremely necessary to achieve this goal. Jammu Division humbly appeals to all its esteemed passengers to adopt the RailOne app themselves and also motivate their fellow passengers, family members, friends and acquaintances to use it. The more the use of this app increases, the more our services will become transparent, easy and passenger-friendly.”
Jammu Division urges all passengers travelling from all major stations under its jurisdiction — including Jammu Tawi, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra, Shaheed Captain Tushar Mahajan (Udhampur), Pathankot Cantt, Kathua, Banihal and Srinagar etc. — to become a part of this campaign of Digital India and Digital Railway. For Android users, this app is available free of cost on Google Play Store and for iOS users on Apple App Store. Passengers should download this app today itself, complete the simple registration process with their mobile number, promote cashless transactions and avail the benefit of 3% bonus discount.
