Forget braving long queues at KSRTC ticket counters. Booking your bus ticket is just a click away now. On Monday, the KSRTC kicked off its online facility through its website — www.ksrtc.in, the first of its kind in the country.

Transport minister N Cheluvaraya Swamy inaugurated the facility by booking a ticket. Through Any Where Any Time Advance Reservation (AWATAR) system, you can book your tickets using your credit card or debit card.

Currently, the payment is being offered through ICICI Bank for cards having VISA and Master logos. There is also provision for availing the e-ticket for account holders of SBI through direct debit to account.

Earlier, the online reservation facility was extended to only booking agents and at KSRTC counters across the city, but the facility has been extended to everyone now.

THE PROCEDURE
Go to www.ksrtc.in, create an account by giving details. You will get your user name and password. Log on to your account, select journey details and date. Select your payment option, print e-ticket. Carry the e-ticket and your photo ID and board the bus.
