Booking a train on the IRCTC app feels harder than it should. Too many steps, unclear labels, and a messy layout make the process stressful — especially during peak times.

The Struggle

Booking a train ticket on the IRCTC app can be confusing and stressful. With too many steps, unclear labels, and a cluttered interface, even experienced users struggle—especially when tickets are in high demand.

User Persona

UX Goals

Make the ticket booking process faster, clearer, and stress-free. Users should be able to log in easily, find trains without confusion, and complete bookings with fewer steps and less clutter.

Wireframes

The wireframes focused on simplifying the journey from login to booking. Every screen was stripped down to what truly matters — fewer steps, clearer actions.

Simple login with mobile number or IRCTC ID. Quick access without confusion.

Final Screens

Hi-fi

Outcome

The final redesign made the ticket booking flow faster, simpler, and less stressful. Users were able to complete bookings with fewer steps, clearer labels, and better guidance — even with limited tech or language skills.
