The Hosteller has joined forces with redBus, India’s largest online bus ticketing platform, to simplify the travel booking experience for customers. The partnership allows travellers to book both their accommodation at The Hosteller’s properties and their bus tickets through a single interface on The Hosteller’s website and the Glu App.
This integration is designed to create a holistic travel experience, streamlining the process of planning a trip. By combining lodging and transport into one booking platform, the collaboration eliminates the need for multiple systems, making travel more convenient and user-friendly. Guests can now easily plan their journeys across India, with access to thousands of bus routes nationwide.
The integration allows users of The Hosteller’s Glu App to book bus tickets, view schedules, and track buses in real-time. This move will appeal to a range of travellers, from solo explorers and digital nomads to families and remote workers. The partnership also provides budget-friendly options, with exclusive discounts on bus tickets and a variety of transport choices, from sleeper coaches to luxury buses.
The collaboration further includes dual customer support, enabling quicker responses in the event of any disruptions, such as last-minute changes or cancellations. The partnership aims to provide a hassle-free and responsive experience, ensuring that guests can rely on prompt assistance whenever required.
Pranav Dangi, Founder and CEO of The Hosteller, commented, “Our partnership with redBus strengthens the travel ecosystem we offer and provides a seamless experience for our guests, eliminating the hassle of booking travel across multiple platforms.”
Manoj Agarwala, CBO of redBus, added, “This collaboration delivers a ‘one-stop solution’ for young travellers, offering both transport and accommodation, especially for offbeat destinations where buses are often the primary mode of travel.”
