Hyderabad: redBus, an online bus ticketing platform, launched ‘vaccinated’ bus services across 600 plus routes in the country. This new arrangement guarantees passengers taking intercity bus services of travelling with vaccinated co-passengers and crew.
To book a ticket on this service, the travellers must submit proof of getting at least the first shot of Covid-19 vaccine. Passengers will be allowed to board only after they produce their ID proof and vaccination certificate at the time of boarding.
The travellers will also be informed of these requirements before the journey through e-mail and SMS. The partner bus operator staff will physically verify the vaccination certificates/ ID proofs for all adult passengers before boarding, with the exception of passengers aged below 18.
Passengers who fail to provide the necessary proof will be denied boarding.
Prakash Sangam, CEO, redBus, said: “According to a survey we recently undertook with our customers, 89 per cent of the respondents said they would prefer to travel in a bus which has all the bus staff and co-passengers vaccinated with at least one dose of Covid-19 vaccine. It is therefore evident that a vaccinated bus restores passenger confidence to undertake travel.”
Delhi-Chandigarh-Delhi, Hyderabad-Tirupati-Hyderabad, Ahmedabad-Udaipur-Ahmedabad, Bengaluru-Coimbatore-Bengaluru, Delhi-Lucknow-Delhi are some of the routes on which this service will be available, a release said.
