How to use it
First, passengers can book a ticket for free on the GSRTC website (gsrtc.in) or the official app. After that, they need to find the discount offers and the best coupon codes in the Finance or Payment section.
Some discounts are available directly on the GSRTC website; but there are also third-party platforms (like Paytm, redBus, MakeMyTrip, Yatra) that offer more discounts and coupons. While booking on these, they can use a specific coupon code to avail the discount and cashback facilities.
For example, if the code ‘FIRST’ is used on the redBus website, the user can get a 10% discount and ₹100 cashback. This offer can also be found on websites like desidime.com, grabon.in, or etravelsmart.com.
Once the booking is completed and the payment is completed, passengers will receive their e-ticket via SMS and email.
In case of cancellation of a large number of passengers, as per the cancellation policy provided by GSRTC, 15% to 25% of the fare will be deducted and the remaining amount will be refunded. Such terms are clearly mentioned on websites like gsrtc.in and makemytrip.com.
Thus, using the GSRTC online service, you can save time and plan your trip with discounts.
Additional notes
First of all, you cannot use multiple discounts or coupon codes together on a single trip. According to this situation, which is known as the “single discount” rule, only one discount is allowed in a booking. That is, if you use a promo code, other discounts will not be applicable on that trip.
Next, you can book a maximum of 6 seats through a single registration. This is ideal for family travelers or small groups. Those who want to travel with more than 6 people will have to make two separate registrations.
Also, in case of changes in location, delays, etc. during the trip, passengers can track their bus live. This is not only available on the official website of GSRTC but also on platforms like AbhiBus and redBus.
Importantly, if the coupon codes or discount offers used are not working properly, there is a support and refund system available. Passengers can contact customer support to resolve their issues.
Keeping all this in mind, passengers can use the GSRTC online service safely and effectively with discounts.
