Sometimes there is one or two seats available, but all the time is spent searching for them.
- Checkout also fast: The checkout process has been simplified in the new website. Earlier checkout was done in several steps. But some of these steps were reduced so that the passenger takes less time to book the ticket.
- Booking tickets again has become even easier:If you repeatedly book tickets for yourself or other members of your family, then you can save their information on the website. This will make it easier to book tickets next time. You will not have to fill name, age and other details. This website will also be linked to the Passenger Reservation System (PRS).
