Train Travel Becomes Sophisticated With the Facility of Getting Food Delivered Right On the Seat

New Delhi, India, April 15, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Irrespective of the fact that Indian railways are considered to be the transportation lifeline of the country, train travel was not considered to be a part of elite lifestyle. A major reason for such thinking was the poor quality of food and other services being offered on even the best trains across the most important routes. However, things have changed significantly since e-catering facilities were introduced in Indian railways in 2014. These services have made it possible to order healthy and hygienic food through private caterers such as Traveler Food, who then get it delivered right on the berth of the passengers.

The e-catering services have enhanced the standard of train travel in a significant manner. Within just over a year since introduction, the popularity of these services has created a buzz even amongst the most infrequent travelers. The ease of ordering food of choice at a place and time of choice preferred by the passengers has surely added to the sophistication of rail journey. Hence it is not surprising that people from high social strata no longer feel embarrassed about travelling by this largest mode of transport across the country.

E-catering services have proven especially beneficial for group travelers as they no longer need to carry large quantities of food that will suffice for every member in the group.
