'Jugaad' ticket helps you find alternate train routes with a confirmed seat

Ticket Jugaad, a new free mobile application is likely to help the railway passengers who are having waiting lists but the apps is likely to make arrangement for the confirmed ticket through another route on the same train .

The vast network of the Indian Railways are inspiring enough for any number of apps to be used by smartphone users. One such is the most important one about securing reservation.

The app inspired by an IIT Kharagpur student Runal Riju and Jamshedpur NIT student Shubham Baldawa is to make reservation available if there is a possibility of getting from a station other than the one you are seeking.

The boys have called this very useful app, `Ticket Jugaad', mocking those who belittle Indian innovations. `Jugaad' stands for somehow derived innovations and not scientifically derived ones.

This `Jugaad' reservation has won the first prize for the boys in the IIT Global Model Competitions. The app has been downloaded by lakhs of smartphone users already.

The mobile application, developed by engineering students, uses a unique algorithm to find out alternative routes on the same train. 

With this app, if you do not get reservation from Secunderabad to go to Ahmedabad, you can look forward to getting from Kakinada, if a train starts from there.

 You will only lose the travel cost between Kakinada and Secunderabad, if you are boarding the train  ex-Secunderabad.

The application is now available only on Android phones. It has been reported that the developers of the app also plan to bring it on a website and iPhone.

PNR enquiry , PNR information sharing  via SMS and email and other related features are likely to added up in the said apps.
