Indian Railways is going to make important changes to provide better facilities to its passengers. The reservation chart which was prepared 4 hours before the train departure will now be prepared 8 hours in advance. This change will bring great relief to those passengers who used to get delayed in getting information about their seats, especially those who travel from far away to catch the train. On this change, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav has said that the ticketing system should be 'smart, transparent, accessible and effective'. This means that ticket booking should be easy, everything should be visible, it should be available to everyone and it should be effective.
