A train ticket is a ticket issued by a railway operator that enables the bearer to travel on the operator's network or a partner's network. Tickets can authorize the bearer to travel a set itinerary at a specific time (common for long-distance railroads), a set itinerary at any time (common for commuter railroads), a set itinerary at multiple times, or an arbitrary itinerary at specific times. The last two categories are often called passes: the former is often sold as a discounted block of trips for commuters; the latter is often sold to vacationers, such as European Eurail passes. In some countries, like Italy, and some local railways in Germany, conductors are not used. Instead passengers are expected to validate tickets in a special stamping machine before entering the train. A system of coupons that are validated with a special machine exists on the Mumbai Suburban Railway where combinations of coupons of different denominations are used to get the corresponding ticket value.[1] There may or may not be a conductor later on double-checking that correct tickets are actually held. Yet further systems are possible, for example in Japan, the London Underground and in local traffic in Stockholm, the platforms are physically blocked, forcing the acquisition of a ticket before entering the platform. Some train tickets are available with an option to add bus travel at either end of the train ticketed journey, as part of a wider transport network. For instance, the PLUSBUS scheme in the United Kingdom offers bus travel on an integrated ticket for an additional fee.[2] In Germany, most long distance train tickets include a "city ticket" valid on the public transit system of origin and destination. This is automatically included at no extra charge in all tickets purchased by Bahn Card holders and is indicated on the ticket.[3]train ticket reservation in c.i hope it will be helpful. Railway Reservation System is a complex online distributed transaction application based on client server architecture. The salient features of the software include allowing user from anywhere to do a booking for a journey in any train in any class from anywhere to anywhere; handling reservation, modifications cancellation/refunds.

3. Introducing Online Railway Reservation System
Technology has transformed many aspects of life in the 21st century, including the way many of us
make train reservations. For example, to make ticketing more convenient for travelers, Bangladesh
Railways* has started an online reservation system, which helps us in booking tickets from the
comfort of our homes or offices. While this is convenient for most people, it has made things
particularly easier for people residing in remote locations.
The system is basically concerned with the reservation and cancellation of railways tickets of the
passenger. The need of this system arose because as is the known fact that Bangladesh has the
largest railway network in the whole of the world and to handle it manually is quite a tough job.
By computerizing it, we will be able to overcome many of its limitations and will be able to make
it more efficient. The handling of data and records for such a vast system is a very complex task if
done manually but it can be made easier if the system is computerized.

done manually but it can be made easier if the system is computerized. The Customers are required
to register on the server for getting Access to the database and query result retrieval. Upon
registration, each user has an account which is essentially the ‘view level’ for the customer. The
account contains comprehensive information of the user entered during registration and permits the
customer to get access to his past reservations, enquire about travel fare and availability of seats,
make afresh reservations, update his account details, etc.

4. Abstract
Railway Reservation System is a complex online distributed transaction application based on
client server architecture. The salient features of the software include allowing user from
anywhere to do a booking for a journey in any train in any class from anywhere to anywhere;
handling reservation, modifications cancellation/refunds.
Problem Background
In the existing system Reservation is done manually by a user at railway reservation counters. User has to
wait for a long time in the queue to get the reservation. Like this wasting the time of user and for this lot
of man power is required. and lot of paper work is also required

5. Proposed Solution
To avoid all the above pitfalls the system proposed is “Railway Reservation System”. In this
all the reservation process through online. This system saves money, manpower, time. It
provides security compared to existing system.
The basic functions being performed by our system are status, reservation and cancellation.
These functions will be handles with the help of following sub functions:-
1. It reserves and cancels seats of passenger.
2. It contains Information about the stations.
3. It contains information about the trains.
4. It contains information about the passenger.
5. It contains the details of reservations fare.
6. It makes entries for reservation, waiting, cancelled tickets.
How does it work?
Railway Reservation system is to eliminate heavy load paper work by
converting it into web based computer process. This web-based
application is completely client - server oriented for processing

10. Benefits of Online Rail Ticket Booking:The first and main advantage is that
anyone can book tickets from anywhere. All you need is a computer and an Internet
connection to book tickets. Tickets can now be booked at the comfort of your home or office.
It offers a completely hassle-free reservation and no limit of time urgency. The people have
enough time to make their reservations in their own practice times.
Through online media can also enjoy the benefits of comparing prices, availability, and
duration of travel for different trains. In a specific origin many trains can travel to the
destination. In this case, it is easy and convenient way to check and compare all aspects of the
different trains that run between the specified destinations.
Another great advantage is that the availability of tickets can be checked easily. If the ticket is
not available in the desired train and other trains can check and verify the availability.
Reserve tickets online solves the winding queues, the bustle of the platforms, and the
ceaseless cry. Before the online system was introduced to the exchange of reserves was a big
challenge for everyone. Now the challenge is simply ignored

11. Disadvantage of Online Rail Ticket Booking:
1. YOU NEED INTERNET ACCESS: If you run tours and activities in remote areas where
you aren't able to get on the Internet, online booking might not be for you. You'll need reliable
Internet access to check your reservations and to add bookings that are made online.
2DATA SECURITY:This is the main challenge in online ticket booking.

13. NOTES AND SUGGESTED FUTURE WORK
i.We have provided the ability where at max
people can be booked reservations for, this
may not be desirable.
ii. We can extend it to provide multi-train
service for connecting 2 stations, i.e. if there is
no direct train between 2 stations, then we
may use more than 1 train to book our
reservations.
iii. The analysis assumes conservative and
uniform spread of values, this may not hold
and more sophisticated tools for estimation
should be used.
iv. Greater information about the user can be
stored and the user may be updated about
changes in reservation status upon
cancellations, via email
