Train delays are not exceptional; they are the norm in Indian Railways. When a person goes through the Indian railways time table, he/she inevitably back calculates based on the performance of the train. But people hold the Premium trains to be punctual about their times, for most of them charge a hefty sum as Superfast Charge. Though this should be a common line of thought, but more than 50% of superfast trains are also delayed! This is why travelling time cannot always be calculated with perfection.
India has a great educational infrastructure. Basic education is available even in the remotest of villages. But when students want to make it big and pursue higher studies they are often forced to travel to big cities and at times to other states. The count of students leaving their hometown and travelling to some other part of India for their studies is increasing with every passing year. But children are the dearest treasure for their parents. Though the teenagers are confident of handling various situations, yet it is just the nature of parents to worry. And Indian Railways gives plenty of scopes to the parents to worry about their children.
One of the reasons is the erratic arrival and departure of trains. Some trains are not hours, but delayed by days. Compounding to the tensions is the unavailability of mobile networks along long stretches of the journey. At times the mobile battery may run out and there may not be a functional charging point. This means the people back at your home are panicking and worrying every second about you. The crime rate in India is not getting any low and the parents have every right to worry when they do not hear from their children. So long the only way for them was to keep dialling 139 and hope that they will finally get through to an authority and learn about the live train status app.
But the situation can be improved drastically if you have the RailYatri app in your mobile. The app can relieve your parents from a lot of the unwanted tensions that they face when you are travelling from your college to home or vice versa. The new feature in the app termed as “Trip Sharing” allows you to keep the parents well informed about the progress of your trip. When you are travelling to any destination all you have got to do is save a trip by trains between two stations using the app. After saving the trip you can share it with your family in not more than two clicks. When you share the trip, there is a unique URL generated by the app. This URL will help the people who access your Trip Sharing data to spot train running status.
It is also a very cool thing. You can simply share it with your friends all details about your trip back home and they will like to view your details. The essential thing is your friends or family members do not need to have the RailYatri app to access the information, though downloading this app will give them many key insights. The URL can be opened on the browser and will show the train’s current running status on mobile all the same. So, go ahead and download this cool app by visiting the link: rytr.in/and or giving a missed call on: 8080809551.
