MakeMyTrip has launched a new bus ticket reservation system where mobile users can make reservations by just sending SMS. This offering is targeted towards mobile users who have basic or entry-level handsets and want to reserve tickets via SMS.

Customers need to send an SMS @mbus <From-City> <To-City> <Date-of-Travel> <No.of Passengers> to 9664896648. MakeMyTrip will give the user a choice of operators on that day & route. Users need to revert with their choice of operator. Customers are required to provide the IMPS Transaction Details and once the payment is done successfully an SMS will be sent to the customer along with an email for the reservation details.

MakeMyTrip website (www.makemytrip.com/bus-tickets/) has more than 1300+ bus operators covering over 12,000 + routes across India from Punbus/Punjab Roadways, Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation, Goa and Bihar Road Transport Corporation and Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation.
