Railway information on smart phones now

Over 25 million rail passengers can now find useful information regarding their train routes and stations at the click of a button on their smart phones.

RailYatri.in has launched a National Railyatri Alert System (NRAS)- an information system that helps passengers find information on their route, train or destination on their internet enabled phone.

To get alerts, passengers need log on to m.railyatri.in on their mobile phone browser and click on the National RY Alerts System, a release said here Monday.

NRAS includes a comprehensive database of major recurring events like religious, community gatherings or which are known to result in heavy rush at specific locations, and warns users in advance if their travel takes them through one or more hotspots, the release said.
