RailOne app now allows you to book season tickets for other passengers

RailOne app now allows you to book season tickets for other passengers

The RailOne app has introduced a new shared season ticket facility on September 9, 2026, allowing registered users to book tickets for up to five additional passengers. Under this new feature, a season ticket purchased by a user will become valid immediately upon successful geographical verification. However, tickets bought for other passengers will only be valid the following day.

To book a season ticket for oneself, the user must be at least 18 years old. When purchasing tickets for others, the passenger must be at least five years old. The season ticket covers journeys between two specified stations in Second Class, with distances not exceeding 150 km. It is available for both general passengers and students, but holders are prohibited from traveling in reserved coaches or on trains with distance-based travel restrictions.

During travel, passengers can present either a printed copy of the shared season ticket or its PDF version displayed on a mobile phone. The ticket includes the passenger's photograph and a QR code, which can be scanned by ticket-checking staff using a handheld terminal. The QR code must be clear and readable for verification; otherwise, the railway may take action as per its rules.
