The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) app is a crucial platform used by millions to book train tickets. However, the current experience often feels outdated and clunky. This redesign focuses specifically on improving the Train Booking flow, making it more intuitive, mobile-friendly, and visually refreshing — without compromising on functionality.

Too Many Ads .

No Real-Time Train Tracking.

Streamlined bottom navigation bar with key sections: Home, Bookings, Account, Settings.

Fresh visual language using clean typography, proper spacing, and modern icons.

Significantly reduce or reposition ads to avoid disrupting core actions.

Show availability and fare summary directly on the train search results screen.

Built-in live status tracker for booked trains.

Includes location updates, estimated arrival times, and delay indicators.

Typography: Quicksand — chosen for its round, soft geometry which adds warmth, clarity, and friendliness to an otherwise utilitarian platform.

UI Style: Rounded corners, soft shadows, and ample white space for a breathable, modern feel.

Icons: Simplified and consistent to match the light, mobile-friendly design system.

Once the usability issues were resolved, I moved on to design the final screens in Figma. A clean, mobile-first redesign of IRCTC’s train booking experience — from simplifying the login and home screens to surfacing real-time train info and seat availability upfront. Focused on clarity, usability, and reducing friction at every step.

Redesigning IRCTC required deep thinking about real user needs, especially under poor network or stressful travel conditions

Visual warmth through typography and color creates a more trustworthy experience
