All over the world, there are various modes of transportation. Though technology and times have evolved, many may be surprised that railways are still in use. Railways are especially in use in India. Two ways to obtain tickets in India is Taktal and Premium Taktal.

There are a number of differences between them, which impact how the tickets are booked. If a person is looking to book with Premium Taktal, they can only do so online.

For the standard Taktal, they can only be booked in person. Another difference between them is that with Premium Taktal, the fare of children is charged full price.

This should also be known about the tatkal ticket that it gives permission for the entire passengers to get their traveling booked within just two days. The main thing credited to the tatkal ticket is that it enables fast traveling for travelers.

At a later time, the premium tatkal ticket was introduced by the railway board members as an alternative to the tatkal ticket. One main feature of this premium tatkal ticket is that it offers you the pricing with respect to the demand you make on your traveling. This points out the major difference between the tatkal ticket and the premium tatkal ticket; the former operates based on a static pricing strategy, while the latter offers dynamic pricing.

When you book a tatkal ticket, it might take some days before you can commence your journey. Whereas when you obtain the premium tatkal ticket, you will be traveling immediately to your destination due to the price paid.
