Indian Railways Upgrades Decades-Old Ticket Booking System With Advanced Technology

Indian Railways is set to bid farewell to its 40-year-old reservation system as it moves to install a new and more modern one. During an executive meeting held at the Rail Bhavan, Indian Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw instructed railway officers emphatically that there must be no inconveniences whatsoever to passengers while changing the system.

It should be state-of-the-art as well as passenger-friendly. The introduction of the Passenger Reservation System, established in 1986, had undergone several highs and lows.

A lot of minor and major modifications have been carried out over the past four decades. However, the system has now been entirely revamped as its capabilities have been enhanced tremendously due to the application of technology to correct the system’s glitches and delays.
