But what if we told you, you could pay way less for your ticket by following some simple tricks, and one of them even includes a delicious surprise? Keep reading to know more.
How To Reduce Ticket Price for your Train Ride:
If you are planning a train trip anytime shortly, you can use the following easy but effective tricks to bring down the ticket price.
Book in Advance
Last-minute train bookings tend to be more expensive due to the high demand, as well as booking your train last minute could land you in the waiting list soup. Book your ticket at least 15-20 days before getting the best price.
Split Your Route
Another way to travel cheaper by train is to split your booking. Instead of booking one single ticket for your long journey, you can split your journey into 2 or more phases. For example, if you are traveling from Delhi to Kolkata, instead of booking one single, direct train ticket from Delhi to Kolkata, you can book two tickets – from Delhi junction to Mughalsarai junction, and then from Mughalsarai to Kolkata junction. This tip is especially great to follow during high-demand seasons like festivals or holidays.
The Best Way to Reduce the Price is By Ordering Food Online
Yes! You heard that right! Treating yourself to some delicious food by ordering online on the train can save you money. Opt for the “no meal” option when purchasing your train ticket. This significantly brings down the ticket price. And then you can proceed to book a hygienic and yummy meal from the online train food ordering app – Zoop.
