India Is a country with more than 95% of population is depending on public trasportation Services when it comes to travel from one CIty to another city, Most of the time this travel is unplanned so dependency on bus increase more.
Current players in online booking are only focusing on inventory management & mostly depending on Ticket booking Agents who do not own buses it becomes really though to find a bus in private player segment because as per Indian Laws Private buses can not enter in to State Government Owned bus stands so it become more and more difficult to locate bus. With lot of issues and limitation with current online and offline ticket booking system It creates a painful On-Boarding Experince for passengers. and when it comes for the people who travel on daily basis from one city to another it is a horrible experince which includes getting late to office just because they miss their bus by marging of couple of minutes and next to come after a long interval
