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

Railways has launched a new shared season ticket feature on the RailOne app, enabling registered users to book tickets for themselves and up to five additional passengers. Senior Divisional Commercial Manager Saurabh Jain explained that a season ticket purchased for the registered user becomes valid immediately upon successful verification, while tickets for other passengers become valid the following day.

The passenger must be at least 18 years old to book a ticket for themselves, and the person being booked for must be at least five years old. A season ticket allows multiple journeys between two stations in Second Class, generally up to 150 km. The shared season ticket can be presented as a printed copy or its PDF version displayed on a mobile phone during travel.

A QR code on the ticket will allow staff to scan it using a handheld terminal to confirm its validity. The RailOne app serves as a comprehensive digital platform for railway passengers, enabling bookings for various types of tickets and accessing several integrated services.
