A mobile app that uses a unique algorithm to find out alternative routes for getting seats in trains has been launched by by second-year Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, student Runal Jaju and his cousin Shubham Baldava, who studies at the National Institute of Technology, Jamshedpur.
The mobile application Ticket Jugaad uses the shortcomings of IRCTC as its strength. When a person books a railway ticket on IRCTC website or at a railway station, he has to mention the source and destination of his journey. As a result, you can only see the trains available on the route between the two particular stations. However, it fails to give alternative route options to the passengers between other nearby stations. Every station has its quota of tickets. This deficiency is what Ticket Jugaad has cashed upon.
The Railways allow passengers to board the train from a station which comes after the booking station. The unique and efficient algorithm of mobile app gives you an alternative ticket option in the same train by identifying empty routes, in cases of unavailable tickets, as shown by IRCTC. This increases the availability and provides the user maximum path that can be covered with a confirmed ticket in his preferred class of travel.
