Booking train tickets is a very difficult task. Especially when you have to go somewhere in a hurry. Many people take the help of railway agents to get tickets, but the biggest problem in this is that the agents extort their desired money from the customers in lieu of tickets. So it would be better if you cut the ticket yourself. This will also give you the ticket and also save money, which you were paying to the agent. If you want to book tickets online then the web portal of Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation ie IRCTC can be helpful for you. IRCTC’s app is also available, on which passengers have been given the facility to book train tickets. If you want, you can also book tickets through aggregators like Paytm, MakeMyTrip and RailYatri.
