The new offering will allow riders to book train tickets, check PNR status and seamlessly plan their first- and last-mile journeys with Uber, all within a single app.
The launch comes as Uber continues to expand its intercity travel offerings in India. Through the new train ticketing service, the company is leveraging ixigo’s train booking technology and post-booking services to make it easier for riders to plan and manage different stages of their journey through a single platform.
Train travel remains one of the most preferred modes of long-distance transportation in India, with Indian Railways carrying 741 crore passengers in FY2025-26.
As online train ticketing continues to grow, Uber and ixigo are partnering to make rail travel more convenient by integrating ixigo’s train ticket booking capabilities with Uber’s first- and last-mile mobility services. The partnership aims to provide travellers with a more connected and seamless journey from their doorstep to the railway station and onward to their final destination.
Commenting on the partnership, Arnab Kumar, Director, Business Development, Uber India and South Asia, said train journeys are an integral part of how India travels.
“For millions of people, the journey starts well before they board the train and continues long after they arrive at their destination. With Train Ticket Booking on the Uber app, riders can now book their train tickets, check their PNR status, and seamlessly connect to and from the railway station, all within a single app,” he said.
Kumar added that the partnership brings together ixigo’s expertise in train ticketing and Uber’s mobility platform to make the overall travel experience more seamless and convenient.
Aloke Bajpai, Group CEO, and Rajnish Kumar, Group Co-CEO, ixigo, said the company’s focus has been on making rail travel simpler, more reliable and stress-free.
“As India's largest OTA in the train category, our focus has always been on making rail travel simpler, more reliable and stress-free. Beyond booking tickets, we've continued to invest in a seamless post-booking experience, better customer support and innovative features that give travellers greater peace of mind throughout their journey,” they said.
They added that the partnership with Uber would extend the travel experience beyond the train itself, enabling passengers to plan their journey seamlessly from their doorstep to their destination.
