redBus Book Bus, Train Tickets

What the app covers across India

This is a booking app for intercity travel within India, built mainly around bus tickets. The developer also adds IRCTC train reservations, metro tickets and hotel stays to the same app, so one account handles several kinds of trip.

The developer says it covers more than 5,600 private and state transport bus services across 7.3L+ routes, and reports over 5.6 crore users. It is aimed at people who travel between cities and towns and want to search, pay and manage each journey in one place.

Searching and booking bus seats

Government buses come from the state transport corporations the developer names as official partners, including GSRTC, KSRTC, TSRTC, APSRTC and others. Private operators listed include FlixBus, Zingbus, Chalo Bus, NueGo, IntrCity SmartBus and Orange Travels, among others.

Before paying, you can compare seat availability, prices, ratings, photos and reviews for each bus. Bus types listed are Volvo, sleeper, AC, Roadways and Primo, with Primo described as hand-picked buses. Women travellers can filter for women-friendly buses and see women passenger occupancy, and the developer says priority assistance is available.

Changing or cancelling a bus trip

FlexiTicket is an add-on that lets you move your travel date for free up to 8 hours before departure. Free Cancellation is a separate add-on that returns the full fare if you cancel between 6 and 12 hours before the bus leaves.

Train tickets, PNR and waitlist checks

Train booking is described as IRCTC-authorised and sits inside the same app. You can check PNR status and the running status of a train, and the app offers waitlist prediction along with alternate travel plans.

Alternate Trip is listed as a train option that gives either a confirmed seat or a 3X refund. The developer also advertises a first train booking offer of up to ₹300 off.

Live tracking, watch alerts and hotels

Live bus tracking shows the bus's current location, route progress, delays and estimated arrival time. A Wear OS version runs on a smartwatch, where it tracks active trips, sends real-time updates and delivers haptic alerts. The listing says the watch version has no tiles or complications.

Hotel booking covers budget hotels, hostels and homestays in more than 2000 Indian cities, with the developer citing over 30k properties. Metro tickets carry a listed 20% discount, and the listing also mentions card offers and up to ₹50 cashback through BHIM. Support is listed as available 24x7.
