Yatri, the official Mumbai local app for Indian Railways, has alerts and announcement information shared in-app. On Monday, the app announced the launch of a real time in-app chat feature called Yatri Chat. This is a feature to help Mumbai’s 80 lakh local train commuters stay informed and connected throughout their journey. The new chat feature involves dedicated community groups for each of Mumbai’s major rail corridors: viz, Western Line, Central Line, Harbour Line, and Trans-Harbour line.

Yatri Chat helps passengers share updates, exchange stories and stay informed during their local quotidian commutes. With the new reply feature, users can now engage in real-time, two-way conversations, asking questions, responding, and sharing on-ground updates instantly. Chats are organised by train lines, ensuring conversations stay relevant to commuters.
