Ticketvala.com

Though we have seen lots of online portals for airtickets and hotels, there was a void when it came to tickets for bus journey.

Ticketvala.com has made sure that the void isnt any more a “void”.

A flagship product of Travis Internet Pvt Ltd, ticketvala.com has made sure it comes up with a product which utlizes the power of real time communication and help the ever so busy internet savvy young Indians buy tickets at the ease of a click. The entire concept seems to be very similar to any other online ticket booking site, but considering the inorganized sector “Bus Travel” is, they have been able to fulfil and realize a unrealistic dream.

They have also been able to tie up with partners like eBay.in & zapak.com and also made sure that the ticketing can be done through multiple pricing channels.

Going through the site, you will find that the site is very much like any other online travel site & doesnt bring in any new innovative touches. Also, the “From” & “To” section doesnt have a drop down and hence you have to type your locations. A Good thing that they have done is to launch the car hire/bus hire & budget hotels booking also along side which means giving them more broader spectrum.

The problems that we feel they would face in future would be the high no. of bus stations in India which would mean covering the entire geography as a daunting task. The inorganized sector would mean that real time information on the bus travel would be much more difficult than the airlines or train travel.

All in all the idea seems to be novel & the operations seems to be in place - the test though would be when they increase their spectrum.
