Created by the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS), RailOne is being hailed as a “super app” that centralises key passenger services previously available across multiple apps.
“RailOne is a one-stop solution for passengers, eliminating the need to juggle between multiple apps,” said a Railways spokesperson.
