Aapne kaha…humne suna! 😁
Travelling with the Indian Railways is convenient, hassle-free, and probably the best way to reach your destination. Getting a confirmed ticket on a train, however, is often easier said than done.
So, to make your ticket booking experience more convenient, we have launched a unique feature: ixigo Train Jugaad.
What is ‘Train Jugaad’ all about and how will it help you get a confirmed seat?
The process of seats getting assigned on trains is more complex than one would imagine. There are many stations that have reserved quotas on every train route that involves them, but due to lack of passengers, these seats end up remaining vacant. You may have noticed these vacancies yourself in train journeys over the years and may have wondered how they ended up remaining unoccupied.
‘ixigo Train Jugaad’ uses a unique algorithm to tell a user about alternative train ticket options on the same train by identifying available routes in the journey. It works best on popular, high-demand routes by ensuring optimum utilisation of unoccupied seats.
How exactly does ‘ixigo Train Jugaad’ work?
Let’s take an example. Imagine you have to travel from Ajmer to Ahmedabad but are unable to find a seat on this route. What if you could secure a seat from Jaipur to the destination instead? You can book from Jaipur but board from Ajmer, as desired.
This is how ‘ixigo Train Jugaad’ makes the journeys of travellers easier. When you search the seat availability for a destination, the feature automatically searches the available seats at stations that are before the source station or after the destination station. Hence, it provides you with a confirmed ticket for your desired destination.
Here are a few pictures for you to understand this feature better:
