Posted on: 18/Apr/2013 2:51:32 PM
The Indian Railways has started work on extending passenger services. The Centre of Railway Information Systems (CRIS) and RailYatri.in are working on an app that will provide real time updates regarding the position of the trains and the estimated times of arrival. It will also send alert messages and provide a wake up service.
Talking to the press about this, RailYatri.in’s CEO and co-founder Manish Rathi said, ‘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. (We) are working towards "fine-tuning some features" on the app that they are working on to ensure that it works on iPhones, Windows Phone and BlackBerry devices.’
