Confirmation probability

The new innovative feature will provide users with accurate predictions of the confirmation probability for each waitlisted ticket at the time of booking. Therefore, allowing passengers to ultimately know about the possibility of securing a confirmed seat.

Information on alternate modes

Live train running status

In addition, the new feature will provide the live status of trains, including the departure and arrival schedules of trains at stations that are nearby the passenger’s destination or boarding stations.
