Kathmandu, Aug. 7
Nepal's only online bus ticketing
service provider, bussewa.com, has entered its tenth year.
The company operated under Bussewa
Tours and Travels has provided services on most of the routes in Nepal during
this period.
It has been providing online ticket
booking services for Indian cities including New Delhi, Bodh Gaya and Muzaffarpur.
Currently, more than 3,000 passengers are travelling to various locations using
the bus service by booking tickets via bussewa.com, the company's Chief
Executive Officer, P. R. Khanal, informed.
Meanwhile, the company has also
launched a passenger lounge at Dhunga Adda in Kathmandu, so that the passengers
do not have to wait for the bus standing on the roadside and suffocating with dust
and smoke. The lounge has Wi-Fi, drinking water and other facilities for the
passengers, and the bus can be boarded directly from the lounge.
According to Khanal, although the bussewa
has to work hard to make the transport sector technology-friendly, which is
considered an informal sector and the use of technology is minimal, the general
transport businessmen and travelers are getting attracted towards the online
ticketing platform.
Speaking at a press conference held
on the occasion of the tenth year, Khanal said, "Bussewa.com has started
its service with the aim of connecting the transport sector with technology. In
the coming days, we will make our service more efficient and expand it to make things
easier for common passengers."
On this occasion, the bus service has
announced an offer that 10 people can travel for free every day for 10 days.
100 per cent cash back will be given to 10 people every day through a lottery. It
is said that the name of the winner would be announced through the official
Facebook page of the bus service.
