🚆In a country like India, where over 2 crore people travel by train every day, simplifying the railway experience is not just a convenience — it’s a necessity. And that’s exactly what the RailOne app aims to do.
Think of it as your personal railway assistant — available 24/7, right on your smartphone. Whether you’re booking a ticket, checking the live train status, ordering food, or filing a complaint, the RailOne app brings everything into one place.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated using multiple railway apps for different services, the RailOne app is made for you.
🌟 What is the RailOne App ?
The RailOne app is an official mobile application launched by Indian Railways to unify and simplify all train travel-related services. It’s a “super app” that combines ticket booking, unreserved travel passes, PNR status, train tracking, food delivery, refunds, complaints, and more — all under a single platform.
In simple terms, RailOne is the all-in-one solution for train travelers in India. No more juggling 4-5 different apps. No more confusion. Just one smart app that handles it all.
🚄 Why Was the RailOne App Created?
Until recently, Indian train travelers had to download and use several different apps:
-
One for booking reserved tickets
-
Another for general (unreserved) tickets
-
A separate app for PNR status
-
Another one for train running information
-
One more for complaints
-
And yet another for ordering food on trains
This made the overall experience complicated, especially for less tech-savvy users. That’s why the RailOne app was created — to merge everything in one place and make train travel smarter, faster, and easier.
