Train Ticket Booking: Millions of people in India travel by train daily, and most prefer reserved coaches for a more comfortable and convenient journey. However, to secure a confirmed seat, it’s essential to book tickets in advance. Train tickets can be booked both online and offline. While online booking is quick and hassle-free, offline booking can be a bit challenging as it requires visiting the railway counter and waiting in long queues for hours.
Online ticket booking has become incredibly convenient, allowing you to book tickets from the comfort of your home. These days, there are numerous apps and websites that make train ticket booking hassle-free. Let’s explore some of the best platforms you can use for booking train tickets online.
Where Can You Book Train Tickets Online?
1. IRCTC
The official website of IRCTC (www.irctc.co.in) and the Rail Connect app are the most popular platforms for booking train tickets in India. To use these, you’ll need to create an IRCTC account. However, the website and app have faced occasional technical issues. If you encounter any problems, there are alternative platforms that can simplify the booking process.
2. MakeMyTrip
MakeMyTrip is a well-known travel booking app that also offers train ticket bookings. It’s user-friendly and provides added benefits like the Trip Guarantee feature. If your ticket isn’t confirmed, MakeMyTrip compensates you with coupons or refunds to enhance your booking experience.
