The national capital’s Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) has made it possible to purchase bus tickets via the instant messaging app WhatsApp.
The days of waiting to obtain a ticket from the conductor after boarding the bus are over for proficient in technology Delhiites. People may easily purchase tickets using the WhatsApp ticket booking feature from a variety of locations, including malls, offices, and homes.
At the moment, passengers using DTC and DIMTS routes can purchase single-journey QR tickets through the chatbot. The chatbot will provide a rapid buy function for users who commute frequently on the same route, which will cut down on the time it takes to choose the starting point and destination.

The Delhi government launched the “One Delhi” mobile application in 2022, which allows commuters to book tickets by scanning QR codes printed inside buses. But in this day of innovation and artificial intelligence, all Delhiites need to travel smoothly across the DTC network is a WhatsApp ticket booking.
