Technology in bus: Booking Part 2

 One of the biggest change which has taken place is the way tickets are booked. Previously commuters had to go down to the operators/agents office to book tickets & they could not book return tickets. Today Bus tickets can be booked in the following manners

             ·         Booking through call centres of operators/telephonic booking.

 ·         Booking Online through the operators websites or through travel portals like    Redbus.in,Abhibus,Travelyarri,Makemytrip among others.

 ·         Booking through Mobile Apps of operators

Today 5% Indians have started booking their tickets online & this population is rising each day.Previously bus tickets were booked hours/minutes before the departure where the situation today is around 32% book on the day of the travel, while 24% book a day prior to the day of travel and during festive/holiday season tickets are booked almost 15-20 days in advance. Online bus booking have witnessed a huge spurt since January 13 registering a whopping 185% growth.
