The Indian Railways has announced that it will soon begin online bookings for pets on trains. The move comes after several requests from pet owners who had to go through a tedious process of booking tickets for their pets through railway counters.
According to reports, the online booking facility for pets will be available for both AC and non-AC coaches. The facility will allow pet owners to book a ticket for their pet while booking their own ticket online. The pet owner will have to provide details such as the breed of the pet, its age, and weight, along with a health certificate from a registered veterinarian.
The pet owners will also have to ensure that their pets are properly leashed and muzzled during the journey. The railway authorities will provide a separate berth for the pet in the luggage compartment of the train. The pet owner will have to pay a nominal fee for the transportation of their pet.
More About The Booking
The move has been welcomed by pet owners who have been struggling to book tickets for their pets. Many pet owners have been forced to travel without their pets due to the lack of proper facilities on trains.
The online booking facility for pets is expected to make it easier for pet owners to plan their travels and ensure that their pets travel with them safely and comfortably. The move is also expected to boost revenue for the Indian Railways as more pet owners will be encouraged to travel by train with their pets.
The Indian Railways has also announced that it will soon be launching a mobile app for pet owners to book tickets for their pets. The app will allow pet owners to book tickets for their pets on the go, making it more convenient and accessible for them.
The online booking facility for pets is part of the Indian Railways’ efforts to make train travel more accessible and convenient for all passengers. The move is expected to be implemented in the coming months. And pet owners are advised to keep a lookout for the official announcement from the Indian Railways.
