Ticket booking for RSRTC buses to goes online
Jaipur: As part of ushering e-Governance in all its operations over the next two years, the Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation (RSRTC) on Sunday broad-based online reservation system in its buses. The e-ticketing facility, the entire infrastructure for which has been developed by a Mumbai-based company, will be extended to 1,500 buses on all prominent routes in Rajasthan and outside the state.
The new system will see passengers booking their tickets via the official website of RSRTC, www.rsrtc.gov.in and 150 booking centers, besides booking tickets a month in advance on prominent RSRTC buses.
The facility's software upgrade was marred by teething problems, with passengers facing difficulties in getting tickets from the booking windows at Central Bus Stand in Jaipur and other ticket booking facilities, like kiosks. Owing to glitches in switching over from old booking software passengers not only faced problems in getting tickets, but those who had booked confirmed tickets through the old software saw their names missing from the new passenger list, while some others got double tickets.
Confirming there were certain problems due to the software switchover, RSRTC official spokesman Sudhir Bhati said,"Such problems will be rectified and four to five extra buses will be run to benefit passengers who suffered due to technical reasons."
