New ‘Track My Train’ App Modernizes Train Travel Across Pakistan
The Ministry of Railways has introduced Track My Train, a cutting-edge mobile application designed to provide real-time train tracking for passengers across the country. The app was launched on June 18, 2025, signaling a digital leap forward for Pakistan’s rail transportation sector.
Replacing the now-defunct Pakistan Railway Tracking System, this app is expected to transform how passengers plan and experience their journeys. With over 100,000 Android downloads reported within days of its release, the demand for real-time railway information is clearly strong.
What the App Offers
Created by Mango Tech Solutions, the app offers several useful functionalities:
- Live GPS Tracking: Passengers can monitor their train’s exact position in real-time
- Station Timings: Detailed schedules showing estimated and actual arrival/departure times
- Delay Notifications: Alerts when trains are running behind schedule
- Route Details: Each stop listed with estimated durations and layovers
The app supports English and Urdu for accessibility but currently lacks multilingual options beyond these two languages. Its interface is geared towards simplicity, ideal for casual and frequent travelers alike.
Technical and Privacy Notes
Though not directly affiliated with Pakistan Railways, Track My Train relies on public data feeds and GPS networks to power its real-time capabilities. Mango Tech claims that all communications are encrypted, ensuring the protection of user data during use. However, the app collects device-specific identifiers and may share this information with third parties—an industry standard but one that some users may wish to monitor.
The platform is free to download and use but does include advertisements, which help offset operational costs without affecting performance.
Track My Train marks a notable step forward in digital mobility solutions in Pakistan, offering a smoother, smarter experience for millions of daily railway passengers.
