The application is free to use. Why are the poor disenfranchised then?

And nearly every Indian has a smartphone. Access is almost certainly not an issue.

Smartphone penetration was at 54% in 2020, the projections have them at 66% in 2022.

This is hardly everyone.

When 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?
