The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has decided to launch a ticket booking app on Blackberry smartphone users to help them book ticket easy.
"The official IRCTC App can now be downloaded from BlackBerry World on BlackBerry 10 smartphones and book train tickets using the app," said a senior IRCTC official.
The IRCTC app is listed on BlackBerry World under the Navigation & Travel section, and is a 5MB download. As per the app listing, the IRCTC app for BB10 allows users to book railway tickets, apart from checking reservation status, train schedules, train routes, availability of tickets, cancellation, booking history, recent history, favourites, and more.
The IRCTC official said the BB10 app is user friendly and easy to operate, and that users can plan a journey with a tap of a finger.
Annie Mathew, Director, Business Development and Alliance, BlackBerry India, said about the launch of the app, "We are excited to bring the IRCTC application to BlackBerry World. With the increasing smartphone perpetration and the increasing dependence on mobile applications, it is a great opportunity for us to help our customers experience this app for an easy and streamlined train booking service."
The website has been busy for awhile. In fact, they have 7,000 tickets booked on the website per minute.
It's quite a useful app. Just imagine an app like this could do if it goes global. It will definitely make booking tickets easy and hassle free. We hope that other travel company will have an app like this soon in the future.
