Frequently Asked Questions

What is an e-ticket?

An e–ticket, also known as an electronic ticket, is an electronic document that contains the details of your bus ticket, like a unique confirmation number issued by the bus operator for the booking you have made, along with other details like your departure date, time, boarding point, conductor number and so on. It is important to carry a print-out of the e-ticket along with a valid photo-id proof at the time of bus departure.

While travelling with an infant on the bus, is there anything special I must know?

Make sure they have valid proof-of-age documents at the time of check-in, and note that infants must be accompanied by an adult who is at least 18 years old. Only one infant can be booked per adult, and infants below 2 years of age do not require a bus ticket as they are not allotted a seat.
