Festivals are coming. Many people will travel for Diwali and Chhath. Many people use trains, and IRCTC is the main app to book tickets. But many face problems when booking on the IRCTC app or website.
The RailOne app is a good alternative. It is also a government app. You can book reserved tickets, unreserved tickets, and platform tickets. We tried booking on the RailOne app. Booking was very fast and easy.
The RailOne app can be downloaded from the Play Store or App Store. You can install it on your smartphone or tablet. Earlier, the app was only on the Play Store, but now iPhone users can also use it.
Login via IRCTC Account
Registration on the RailOne app is easy. You can register using your basic details and Aadhaar card. If you have an IRCTC account, you can also login with it.
Save Passenger Details
You can save passenger details on the app. Names, age, food preferences, and family details can be saved. This saves time when booking, as details can be entered with one click. It also improves your chances of getting a ticket.
Payment Options
The RailOne app allows payment via UPI or card. You can also order food and report any problems during the journey. In many cases, it has more features than the IRCTC app.
Unreserved and Platform Tickets
The app lets you buy reserved, unreserved, and platform tickets. It also works with the government OTT app Waves, where you can watch movies, series, and live channels.
Ticket Booking Experience
I booked a ticket for October 20th from New Delhi to Haldwani. I had saved the passenger details before. The app’s interface is clean, works fast, and never crashed. After entering passenger details and the captcha code, I made the payment via UPI. The ticket was booked very quickly. I found it faster and easier than the IRCTC app.
