Native Booking Journey

iMobile’s bus booking service allows customers to complete the entire ticket booking process within the app itself.

Wide Range of Bus Options

Understanding that most users book buses just two days before travel, ICICI ensures a comprehensive range of bus options to suit every need. From luxury coaches to budget-friendly buses, the app allows users to compare and select the best option effortlessly. The iMobile app also provides convenient filters to choose between AC or non-AC buses and sleeper or sitter options, enabling travelers to refine their choices. This ensures every customer finds a bus that perfectly aligns with their schedule, budget, and travel preferences within the personalized marketplace platform.

This flexibility lets travelers tailor their journey to match their comfort preferences, ensuring a personalized experience.

Secure Payments Without OTP

The payment process within the iMobile app is smooth and hassle-free:

  • Direct Account Debit: The ticket amount is debited directly from the user’s savings account or preferred payment method without the need for repetitive inputs.
