I disagree.
Its more about providing equal opportunity. Ticket booking sucks for everyone rich and poor alike. This kind of app will favor rich people who can ignore its commission and spend little more for better experience.
One might say why not adopt something like this app for all but thats not possible. Operating at such large scale is very expensive and any profits from ticket commissions is never going to cover its expense and it will suffer same fate as the website.

- readthenotes1 5y agoWhen someone in the 46% get a phone and want to get rail tickets, should they be have to crawl to the station and pay by cash because not everyone can use the phone app or afford crutches?
- civilized 5y agoThere is no method of accessing any good or service that the rich can't take more advantage of than the poor, because the rich can pay someone to do things for them. So by this logic, the entire economy shouldn't exist. Very convenient for bureaucrats nostalgic for the License Raj.
