Business Challenges

Offline ticket booking presents several challenges not only to passengers, but also to the transport company. As the fleet size and number of passengers increased over time, the manual process of issuing tickets became cumbersome. The transport company lacked a consolidated view on the state of affairs such as seat utilization, staff rostering, routing and scheduling, and revenue projection.

  • Inefficiency of the paper-based, over-the-counter ticketing process
  • Inability to update seat availability and reservation-related enquiries
  • Passengers do not have access to updated information on bus schedules and seat availability
  • Location constraints; difficulty in accessing services beyond business hours
