Presently, Mumbaikars can call numbers between 131 and 137 for queries related to the arrival and departure of trains and PNR enquiry, among others.
However, after the number 139 — which will not be toll free — becomes operational, other helplines will cease to function.
Railways is really fast on Information highway.
Would the payment be a form of mobile commerce! Gilson if you have more info on how it works. Please do share.
