CDP along with Indian Railways develop mobile app YATRI to make life of Mumbaikars easy

CDP in collaboration with Indian Railways developed a mobile app called YATRI which is designed to provide the live location, updated timetable, live announcements and various other train related services.

Generally known as the lifeline of Mumbai, the local trains are the part and parcel of every Mumbaikar's life. To keep track of thousands of such trains, their schedules and routes, live status, platform numbers, arrivals, departures and delays, was a long, hectic and herculean task. The lakhs of daily commuters needed real-time information and tracking of these trains so as to plan their journey in a convenient way.

While considering the issues faced by the masses, Central Railways Mumbai Division finally decided to come up with a one-stop solution to all the problems. They required a platform that was not laid beside the train tracks but within the smartphones of every travelling Mumbaikar. After a planned discussion, Central Railways shortlisted CDP India who could create the best mobile application that can provide all the needed information for the millions of daily commuters.

The goal was to give the user a friendly experience in terms of live updates of trains, next or previous station locations, A to B commute planning and many useful features. Yatri is also integrated exclusively with the UTS app for booking tickets. The convenience and comfort of the hard-working commuters was kept in mind, all the way through the designing process to deliver an exclusive feature of marking their favourite trains and routes to receive customised alerts. And on the fortunate day, the live location tracking feature was launched on 13-Jul-2022

Since then, YATRI has been successful in making its way through not just hundreds or thousands but lakhs of users who have eased their travelling experience to a greater extent. Today we are a family reaching 1 Million happy YATRIkars (as we call our users), who have time and again testified to their satisfaction and comfort.
