Intercity Travels Bus Booking

Anyone who frequently travels during the busy long weekends know how much a dependable bus operator matters. Intercity Travels has quietly built a repute for itself, running frequent buses across Karnataka and its neighbouring states. 

For IT and corporate professionals moving between Bangalore and cities like Hyderabad, Vijayawada or Chennai, or families heading to Shirdi for darshan, Intercity Travel's ticket booking has turned into a fairly routine part of travel planning. This guide looks at the Intercity Travels bus services and amenities, and how to do Intercity Travels online booking on redBus.

Intercity Travels is based in Bangalore, with its office located in HSR Layout. It runs services across Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Goa and Tamil Nadu. 

Its network also touches Goa, Guntur, Vijayawada, Hyderabad, Tirupati, Chittoor, Hosur, Chennai, Belgaum and Dharwad. The company is ISO certified and has been operating for nearly two decades, with a client base that includes IT, BPO, BT, Engineering, Manufacturing and Educational institutions, alongside individual leisure travellers.

Route counts and schedules shift slightly with seasonal demand, so it's worth checking the current listings on redBus before you plan a trip.

Intercity Travels offers different types of buses to suit the specific needs of passengers. On small distances, people may prefer seater buses, while on long-distance routes, sleeper berths are preferred.

• Non-AC Seater: Suits short, budget-conscious trips such as Bangalore to Hosur.

• AC Seater: A cooler ride, used on both daytime and evening departures.

• Sleeper Coach: Runs mostly on longer overnight routes such as Bangalore to Guntur, so passengers can sleep through the trip.

• Semi-Sleeper: Semi-sleeper buses offer reclining comfort on medium-length journeys.

While on the bus, passengers are offered multiple amenities to make their journey comfortable:

• Reclining or pushback seats

• Charging points

• Enough luggage space

• Clean interiors

• Helpful staff 

• Live tracking

Booking a seat no longer means standing at a counter or calling around to check availability. Here's roughly how you can book Intercity Travels bus tickets through redBus:

Step 1: Go to the redBus website or open the redBus app.

Step 2: Type in your source and destination; Bangalore and Goa, for instance.

Step 3: Pick your travel date and hit "Search Buses."

Step 4: Filter or scroll to find Intercity Travels among the listed operators, then choose your bus.

Step 5: Select a seat from the layout and fill in passenger details.

Step 6: Pick a boarding point and drop-off point that works for you.

Step 7: Pay through whichever method suits you; UPI, card, or net banking all work. 

Your m-ticket is sent to your email address and mobile number almost immediately.

A few things make it worth using redBus rather than booking directly at a counter. 

• No Hidden Charges

There are no hidden booking fees added at checkout, and redDeals often bring the fare down further. 

• Live Tracking

Live tracking means you're not left guessing if the bus is running late. You can track the location of the bus from your mobile phone. 

• Secure Payments

Payments go through secure gateways. So, you don't have to worry about the safety of online payments.

• Easy Cancellations

If plans change, cancellations can be handled from the app without much hassle. The charges applicable depend on how close you cancel the bus ticket to the scheduled travel time.

• Passenger Reviews

redBus also carries genuine passenger reviews for each operator, which is useful if you're choosing between a few similar options. 

• Customer Support

If something does go wrong with a booking, customer support is available around the clock rather than during limited hours.
