Sure, the OS isn't Windows 11, so it runs quickly - that's obvious.

Jagdish

It could also be something like a mechanical truck.

Jatin

It also depends on the person operating it, brother.

Govind

The OS only contains the Railway firmware, nothing else.

Vaishali

It's a web app, so it doesn't depend on the OS. It probably runs the UI locally and just validates everything on the central server.

Chitra

Unreserved tickets don't need to talk to the backend for seat allocation, which is the biggest time‑consumer in booking. Plus the payment uses the Railway smart card, an in‑house system, so no third‑party validation is needed.

Tanya

He's really quick with his fingers.

Kanchan

Because it runs Python full‑stack code.

You'd be surprised how fast a service can be when it's directly connected to the server with zero latency. A sleek, simple UI also makes it feel snappier.
