Bus tickets are going to be booked through WhatsApp in Delhi, travel will be easy

If you live in Delhi then you would already know that you can now easily book Delhi Metro tickets through your WhatsApp. Certainly, Delhi Metro passengers have got relief from the problems of standing in queues, never having change, machines never working etc., and now a similar system is about to be started for Delhi Transport.

Yes! Now you can also book your bus tickets through WhatsApp. Let us tell you that bus passengers have been facing problems in getting tickets due to various reasons. Firstly, sometimes there is a problem of change in the bus, and sometimes due to crowd, there is difficulty in reaching the conductor. Many passengers have been facing this kind of problem. Obviously this is extremely useful.

Let us tell you that more than 40 lakh people travel by buses in Delhi and in the coming few years this number will reach 60 lakh. In such a situation, the digital ticketing system will be able to control the manipulation of cash to a great extent.

Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gehlot has informed that its trial run can start around January 15 and after that in a month or two it will be completely open for all passengers.

For information, let us tell you that more than 7000 government buses run in Delhi, out of which 4000 are DDC’s own buses. At the same time, 3000 cluster buses take the passengers of Delhi from one place to another.

It will be interesting to see what kind of experience this partnership of Delhi Transport Corporation with WhatsApp provides to the people.
