Google has already seen hugely encouraging user response for cab and bus ticket booking options on Google Pay with abhiBus, Goibibo, RedBus, Uber and Yatra. Now with IRCTC on Google Pay, your travel is made simpler even on trains.  

In the last year and a half since Google launched Google Pay (then known as Tez), they have worked to develop new features to make payments simple for Indian users. Google is thrilled that millions of Indians are adopting Google Pay month on month from all over the country, in towns and villages to recharge their mobile plans, pay bills, pay for movies, book cabs, buy bus tickets and more.

Google will continue innovating on Google Pay to help you get to where you need to go by bus, by cab, or by train, and make everyday payment transactions a simple process for you.
