Coimbatore, Oct. 24 Online surface transport Web site, Ticketvala.com, was formally launched on Tuesday. The site will enable travelers to book bus tickets from the comfort of their home in real-time and at no extra cost.

“The effort is aimed at revolutionising road travel which, compared to rail and air transport, is the most fragmented sector,” says the President and CEO of Ticketvala.com, Mr Haranath Lokanadham.

Mr Lokanadham has signed up with 30 bus operators across the country to offer this facility.

Ticketvala, he pointed out, is not restricted to the Web interface as a good number of people are yet to gain Net connectivity. “We operate a call centre to facilitate the reach,” he said.

According to him, the basic issue in bus services is access to information. “There is no information guide, but with roads getting better by the day, the passenger road traffic is bound to rise. The point-to-point road connectivity is amazing,” he said.

Ticketvala is located in Mumbai, but plans to spread its wings across every region soon.
