Raj travels (Raj) bus tickets are selling at www.redBus.in. Can someone please explain to me how this works?

Question

How are the same buses available on Raj travels and on www.redBus.in site?

Answer 1

duja has pretty much hit the nail on the head. i am not a techie either, but i'm guessing this is the way it works. raj travels would have given redbus.in the permission to read the data on their site and then redbus must be doing just that and displaying results in real-time.

raj travels is one of the best / biggest operators in the country. i'd expect this as a minimum from them. it's important for them to increase their reach and redbus is the site for buses. so it makes sense to do this.

Answer 2

you're right. raj travels is available at redbus. in fact, lots of bus operators are available on redbus. i guess all the private bus operators are and raj travels is one of the biggest.

online bus tickets is quite a new concept. basically some guys tie up with major bus operators and sell the seats online. what's amazing is that the whole bus of raj travels is available on the the redbus site. so, my guess would be that they do some kind of arrangement where the redbus site will talk to raj travels site and get the data from there.

this is very good simply because the data is trust worthy and helps in real-time bookings. atleast that's what happens with airlines. i'm guessing it's the same logic that raj travels and redbus must be using.
