RailOne App Enables Booking Season Tickets for Multiple Passengers with New Validity Rules
Indian Railways has updated the RailOne app to allow registered users to book season tickets for themselves and up to five other passengers, including family members. Tickets booked for the user become valid the same day after verification, while those for others start the next day. Season tickets enable multiple journeys between two stations within 150 km in Second Class, excluding reserved coaches. Passengers can present tickets as printed copies or PDFs with QR codes and photos for verification. The minimum age is 18 for self-booking and five for others.
