India has the fourth-largest railway network in the world, but it carries the highest number of passengers per day. Right now, the festive season is going on, and train stations are extremely crowded. People have to reach the station at least an hour early to catch their train.

Due to the heavy rush, many passengers end up sitting in reserved seats and refuse to vacate them. If you ever face this issue while traveling by train, this news is for you. We will tell you how you can easily get your reserved seat with just one message—without any argument or fight.

Indian Railways: The Largest in Passenger Traffic

Indian Railways ranks fourth in the world in terms of length, but it carries the highest number of passengers daily. Every day, crores of people travel by Indian trains.

Increased Crowd During Festivals

During festivals like Diwali, HOli and Chhath, train stations become extremely crowded. This time, the situation is so intense that people are reaching the station hours in advance to catch their trains. In such conditions, some antisocial elements often occupy reserved seats.

Seat Disputes and Fights

Due to seat occupation, arguments often occur between passengers, sometimes even leading to fights. If you ever face this problem, there’s no need to argue or fight. Instead, just take out your phone—you can get your seat back with a simple message.

How to Send the Message?

  • Open the message box on your phone.
  • Type “SEAT” first.
  • Write your PNR number next.
  • Give a space and then enter your seat number followed by the word “SPEED”.

Where to Send the Message?
