There are many curiosities that may arise in your mind while travelling. It is a common belief that most passengers to a train generally travel from the station of origination to the destined station. There is only a small percentage of passengers who onboard and off board at intermediate stations. But this is only a myth where RailYatri steps in for all-inclusive rail information.

Statistics suggest that there are many trains which may leave their source station and get filled after a few stops. Then again, passengers keep on-boarding and off-boarding all along the way. But there are some stations where passengers on-board and off-board more for a particular train. And Railyatri app’s live train status does such kind of analysis on its app.

You can simply visit the app, type in the train number or name and get results for the train you are travelling by. The page that appears not only carries the entire route map of the train’s journey but the Top 5 Routes on a Train. The results can be quite staggering. For instance, if you search the Top 5 Routes of 18328-Amritsar-Bilaspur Chhattisgarh Express you will find that most popular travel route for the passengers of this train is from Bhopal to Raipur, though the train starts at Amritsar and travels to Bilaspur. If you want to know where the passengers from a particular station are on-boarding and off-boarding at, then there is a way to know that too. Just select your preference of station from the dropdown and you will have a list of Top 5 Routes for passengers of that station.

Present day passengers are more curious then they were ever before and RailYatri wants to deliver them the power of information. There are certain features in both the app and the website such as PNRstatus check, Indian railways time table, trains between two stations and arrival and departure of trains, which are essential features. Means these are the features a person necessarily needs. But there are other facts that are just plain and simple, fun to read. One such feature is the “Top 5 Routes of Train”. It is not essential, but one that most passengers would like to know and RailYatri know that they constantly try to not only bring the dry facts, but fun facts or curiosity quenchers.
