Indian Railways is making travel easier for passengers by integrating taxi booking services into the RailOne App. This new feature will allow users to book a taxi along with their train tickets, ensuring a seamless journey from their home to the destination. The initiative aims to provide last-mile connectivity and reduce the hassle of finding cabs at stations.
