Have you heard the
talk of the town? It is about bus ticket bookings on the go with the help of
Ticket goose mobile app. Smartphones are turning to be a great boon in terms of
accessibility. Smartphones are making us dumber, that is a story for another time.
Now, let us focus the
boon part, with the advent of 4G, we are accessible to fast internet 24x7.
There used to be a time when i had to come back from school to use the
internet. After coming back, I will connect my pc to internet and wait for a
while when the 56k modem does it's ritual of connecting to internet, while it
is about to connect, there goes my connection! What happened? Someone picked up
the receiver to make a call! I had to wait for them to finish talking, then i
will connect to the internet once again and i will open google and start
browsing. When we put a 10 year challenge to internet, in 10 years 2
generations has passed. From 2G to now easily accessible 4G. With this 4G, everything from ordering food
to bus ticket bookings, everything has been made easy.
Bus ticket booking using the app
Now coming to bus ticket bookings, there used to be a time when I used to go to bus depot, look
at the schedules and decide to book the bus tickets. More often the tickets
would get sold out. And due to the lack of knowledge on travels, I would pick
an alternate day to travel. Once upon a time, alternate day travels were a
thing. But now with ticketgoose app, I can book my bus tickets just by lying on
my bed. Bus ticket bookings had never been this easy. I would open the
ticketgoose app, then give my destination. Usually it will be Chennai to
Coimbatore or vice versa. I have more than 50 bus options to choose from in a
given date. If one travel is already booked, i will scroll down for next
travel. I usually pick sleeper for my comfortability, because i cannot
"stand" sitters! Got the pun? haha... okay, I understand your
emotions!
Picking seats and boarding point
After picking up the
travels, I will pick my birth. How cool is that? picking my favourite birth!
There are even more options like selecting the boarding point. The app provides
a list of places from where i can board in. That is a really good feature. Next
is checking out. Ticketgoose is giving various offers like wallet redemption,
coupon codes, paytm and paypal cashback offers. With all these, I can book bus
tickets at a very cheaper cost. After checking out, I will receive a message.
No messy papers, it is all digital. I have to make sure that my phone has
enough battery to show my ticket. That's it.
Coordination with the travels
Usually my boarding
time is around 22:30 ish. It is the standard time when all other operators take
their buses. Finding our bus in that commotion is really hard. But with the
help of ticketgoose, my phone number is with travels and their details is with
me, so that if I get confused with which bus i am supposed to get in, then I
can contact them, and if I didn’t get in the bus, they would call me and guide
me to find the bus. This feature is super helpful in finding the bus.
Return Journey
Ticketgoose helps me
to book ticket for return ticket forehand itself. It will ask for an option
whether i want to book return tickets. I would check the box and book the
return ticket in parallel with onward journey. This feature is really helpful
for me because I don’t want to book return tickets separately. This is a very
nice and thoughtful integration.
Once, we used to think
can bus ticket bookings can be this easy? Now our dreams are a reality, thanks
to 4G internet and ticketgoose.com!
