According to a press release issued by the Office of the Managing Director of ASTC, the online e-ticketing service has been initially initiated in the districts of
Kamrup (Metro) and Sonitpur of Assam. The release also said that the other routes will be followed accordingly.
Talking to G Plus, the Managing Director of ASTC said, “We had an e-ticketing service in Guwahati before, but it was not a full-fledged service. We had a tie-up with redBus. This time, we have launched this e-ticketing service in collaboration with AMTRON. As a pilot project, we have started the route from Guwahati to Tezpur. We also launched a toll-free number for the passengers to file their grievances.”
