Here<\/a> and compare to any other Airlines website, you can find the difference. The Airlines websites are mostly meant for business and customers which is the reason they have professional looking websites and also offer guides and tutorials on how to book a ticket, but the Indian railways website offers less information and more ads.

<\/a>There were recent cliams from the Indian railways that the online tickets booking has increased from 3% to 10% but wonder how many passengers are losing their hard earned money because of their useless backend software. Even if you check out the official railways website its full of google adsense ads which may be the IT department is using to fill in their pockets. Last time i checked out their website the ads turned out to be for premium publishers and this would be obvious with the huge traffic and now high income for the railways department.<\/p>\n
