Pakistan Railways has signed a deal with a Chinese defence and technology company to develop an artificial intelligence system that would allow passengers to plan and book door-to-door journeys using a single app.
Under the public–private partnership agreement, China North Industries Group Corporation (Norinco) will develop the service over the next 10 years.
Norinco Pakistan Railways will get a share in ticket price, freight and value-added services.
The system is being called the Railway Automated Booking and Travel Assistance initiative. It will allow passengers to book, and pay for each mode of transport on a journey using the app. They will also be able to check train status, choose seats, order car rentals and meals, as well as book a hotel.
Beijing-based Norinco has been involved in a number of projects in the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor, most notably the Orange Line in Lahore, the country’s first metro service (see further reading).
