mChek, redBus Launch Ticket Booking Via Mobiles
By: Tech2.com News Staff   |   Jul 08, 2008
mChek and redBus have tied up to facilitate booking of bus tickets through mobile phones. Customers can avail of this service by choosing the mChek option on the redBus website, or by sms-ing ‘REDBUS’ to 543219 (toll-free) from their mobile phone. This service is, however, available only to Airtel users.

"mChek's vision is to make payments for all goods and services through the security and convenience of mobile phones, and we are pleased to work with redBus and extend the reach of mChek to bus ticketing," said Sanjay Swamy, CEO, mChek.

SMSing 'Redbus' to 543219 allows customers to browse routes, select the appropriate journey, authorize the purchase with their mChekPIN, and receive an instant payment confirmation and ticketing information on their mobile phone.

By using the mChek option on the redBus website, customers can enter their mobile number on the site and authorize the transaction on their mobile, without having to share payment credentials with a merchant.

Phanindra Sama, CEO, redBus said, "redBus was founded to help travelers book bus tickets with convenience and by partnering mChek, we are taking this convenience one step further – as they can now book bus tickets just by sending an SMS."

My experience with redbus.in .

I tried booking through their site and it ended up in error msg after paying them through online. I tried their customer care number and for them sunday is holiday.. and no service.. I called them on monday ..told they get back to me with 2 min.. no response .. I called them after 1 hour.. same thing happend ,,, Iike that I called them 6-8 times ..

The worst experience I ever had from a sevice provider..

Actually they are using a 3rd party payment gateway service and they will give
the information after 1-3 days.. may be it will take 1 week also..

After 2 days they called me and told they recived my payment and they dont
have any seat for me. Best Service..!!

So take care while booking tickets from redbus.in .. you will end up in
a error message.

mChek is the best. That is why they won the prize at the GSM conference in Barcelona this year. It is the only mobile payment system certified by VISA and is very safe and versatile.
