ISLAMABAD: Syed Mudassar Hussain, an Informational Technology expert on Wednesday said Pakistan Railways is all set launch a mobile-based application to facilitate a large number of customers by providing them information about timings and location of the train besides enabling them to get tickets online.
He said trackers would be installed in all trains that would update the customers about locations, upcoming stations and even the speed of their train. On experimental basis, the trackers were installed in few trains to measure the app’s performance and results were 100%, he added.
