IRCTC: If you too often travel by train, then this news is of your use. Sometimes passengers have to stand in long queues to get train tickets. But now to get rid of this, the rules for booking tickets have been changed by the Railways.
Under this change, the Railway Ministry has increased the distance covered for booking unreserved tickets from the app. Passengers’ time will be saved , after this change, you can book tickets even if you are far away from the station from which you have to start the journey. This discount available in unreserved tickets will save the time of the passengers. Passengers will get rid of long queues to get tickets. Actually, till now you could book unreserved tickets through the app from 2 km away from the starting station.
Due to this change , now the distance of two km has been increased to 20 km. It has come to the notice of the Railway Board that when there is a distance of two km from the station, many times there is a problem of mobile network disappearing. Because of this, passengers could not book train tickets even if they wanted to. For this reason, this distance has now been increased from 2 km to 20 km by the ministry.
What is the new system:
Under the new system, for non-suburban classes, unreserved tickets can be booked from a distance of 20 kilometers instead of five kilometers. Apart from this, this distance has been increased from 2 km to 5 km for booking tickets for suburban section. After the introduction of this facility, now the passengers will get rid of long queues for tickets after reaching the station.
