Leveraging the substantial overlap between Flipkart’s customer base and bus travelers, the company aims to revolutionize the competitive landscape by facilitating affordable travel options. A standout feature is the ability to redeem Supercoins for bus bookings, offering added value for both new and existing customers.

Notable features of Flipkart’s bus booking service include access to enticing deals, transparent pricing with no convenience fees or hidden charges, opportunities for Supercoins redemption worth up to INR 50, and round-the-clock customer support. As an introductory offer, customers can avail themselves of a flat 15% discount, coupled with an extra 5% off on Supercoins, for every bus booking made until April 15, 2024.

Speaking on this new development, Ajay Veer Yadav, Senior Vice President, Flipkart,said, “The addition of buses to Flipkart’s wide array of services marks a significant milestone in our journey towards becoming the ultimate destination for all consumer needs including travel. With Flipkart’s strong presence in tier-2 and tier-3 markets, this move has enabled us to provide customers with a convenient and reliable solution for their inter-city travel needs. As a commitment to our customers, we will continue to serve them with value-added facilities, simplifying their travel experiences in the future.”
