A mini version of the Yatra app has been launched. The travel portals new version is smaller in size and consumes less data, to help data-conscious users book train and bus tickets and make hotel bookings.
Speaking about this, a senior executive of Yatra said, Yatra already gets about 50 per cent of its traffic and 40 per cent of bookings via mobile phones. There is a large segment of people and one that is quickly growing is buying entry-level smart phones. They are conscious of the size of the apps and the data these apps consume. The mini app, which is about 4 MB in size, will help such users book train and bus tickets and make reservations at budget hotels. The mother app will still be available with the entire bouquet of products.
