Though this poll dose not require any analysis as IRCTC is way ahead of other options. We would rather compare these stats as use of rail website vs. others (air & road). In India use of rail transport is more common that any other mode because it is comfortable and economical. Though we cannot underestimate road transport based on these stats as people generally don’t book bus tickets online.In this pie we have ignored ‘Red Bus’ and ‘Rediff Fares’ as no one voted for them.

If we observe, total number of tickets booked online as a percentage of total tickets sold for both rail transport and air transport, we will see that the air transport is way ahead. But still we have more penetration for IRCTC because of more use of rail transport. Following is the stats which shows the use of online booking for rail transport in India for 2007-08 published by Business Line:
