Indian Railways seems to be getting more mobile friendly for travelers. After the announcement of Wi-Fi facilities on select trains to improve traveler’s experience, it now plans to provide some other personalized services like wake-up calls and train status alert text messages.
The Indian Railways’ Centre of Railway Information Systems (CRIS) in collaboration with RailYatri.in, a subsidiary of Stelling Tech, are working on a smartphone app to provide real-time information on the position of trains and predictions on their expected time of arrival in different stations, ToI reports.
“We’re looking at providing services like wake-up calls and informing passengers if there are any changes in the schedule of the train they are booked in like delays or cancellations through SMS or phone calls. It can even be to alert someone on the position of a train so they can receive their family at the station on time,” Manish Rathi, CEO and co-founder of RailYatri.in explained.
