21. The Reservation Process - Will I be able to catch the 6:48 down?

This is the start of a plethora of suggestions around the world of IT, the most basic associated with a train being the information of whether you can get onto it or not!



Imagine a scenario where you are trying to catch an appointment or a connection with a just enough time to go, you surely want to know if you can drive down to nearest of the 11 stations and book yourself onto the train arriving there at 6:48 going down to Mumbai!

Mobile Apps and payment gateways come into play for a reservation on the go - which is obvious - but what other utilities can one pack into it ? This will depend on the the various ideas that come to us at the end of a year, maybe!!

Is there an app for booking tickets on the Mumbai Local? If not, what are the issues? For this will then guide the development of IRCTC's new avatar of reservation app for the bullet train. Most importantly, it will do away with the many windows at the precious real estate surrounding the platform and replace it with one, at most two - one at each end! 

Digital Payment will be the way forward!
