Rail SAARTHI

The Railways launched an integrated mobile application to cater to various passenger requirements, including ticket booking, inquiry, on-board cleaning and ordering meal on a single platform. The app Rail SAARTHI was launched by Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu.

Integrated app

Currently, there are multiple mobile apps by the Railways. To use different services, users need to search and download each application separately. In order to provide better customer experience, there was a need for an integrated application which could give a single window interface for these services, Prabhu said after launching the app. Get Train Tickets Delivered To Home On Cash On Delivery
