Waiting Ticket Rules: In the new system, only 10% more waiting tickets will be issued after the automatically confirmed waiting list. For example, if 40 waiting tickets get automatically confirmed in a train, then a total of 44 waiting tickets will be issued in that train.
Waiting Ticket Rules: A new exercise is going to start to curb the overcrowding in trains. If the suggestions given by NER are implemented, the number of passengers with waiting tickets will reduce drastically and passengers with confirmed berths will be able to travel comfortably. In the new system, only 10 percent more waiting tickets will be issued after the automatically confirmed waiting list. For example, if 40 waiting tickets get automatically confirmed in a train, then a total of 44 waiting tickets will be issued in that train.
In fact, after the implementation of AI (Artificial Intelligence) based reservation system, many important changes are to be made. In this context, the board has sought suggestions from all the regional railways regarding the reservation system. In this sequence, the North Eastern Railway has prepared a new formula for waiting. With this system, PRS (Passenger Reservation System) will test the tickets that get automatically confirmed every day. On the basis of that test, 10 percent more waiting will be issued.
Work expected to start by December in the first phase
CRIS (Center for Reservation and Information System) has sought the PRS list of all three divisions of NE Railway. According to the demand, NER has sent the report of PRS location and number of systems of all three divisions. PRS system works at 196 stations in NE Railway. In the first phase, the technology will start from December.
If the ticket is not confirmed, you will not be able to travel in the train
The most rush for tickets is during festivals and summer vacations. During this time, hundreds of passengers board the reserved coaches even though their seats are not confirmed, which becomes a problem for those with confirmed seats. Due to the limited waiting list, those passengers whose seats are not confirmed will not be able to board the train.
