Offline or traditional way of booking a bus ticket is a very painful and time consuming task, where you have to go physically to the bus station or travel agents offices, which usually are far from your house, and then have to go through the headache by asking the travel agent there for various available buses, availability of seats and their timings. But now it is possible for you to book bus tickets online and avoid the rush of going to the bus stand or travel agents.

Top Sites to Book Bus Travel Tickets Online in India

Here are the best websites from where you can book bus tickets online in India. These sites are arranged in order from top to bottom according to the ranking given by me.

Travelyaari.com

According to me it is the best website to book bus tickets online. The site is fast, responsive and has simple looking user interface. The best thing about Travelyaari.com is the huge collection of buses it offers which cannot be found in any other bus ticket booking site. You can also book the tickets from your android mobile phone or device by downloading its android app.

RedBus.in

Another very good website to book online bus tickets. It has grown very big in last one or two years. Also they are spending good amount of money in advertising themselves on Internet, TV, Media etc. Just like Travelyaari, Redbus user interface is also very simple and clean looking. It also has an android app by which you can book tickets from your android smartphone or tablet.

Paytm

Paytm originally started as mobile recharge website but now they have extended their services to other things like recharging of DTH, DataCard, Landline phone, electricity, gas and now booking of bus tickets. They now also have their ecommerce store which is in the growing phase and is expanding very fast. It also has the minimal looking interface for booking of tickets, which is very similar to the sites mentioned above. They also have their mobile app so that you can book tickets from your mobile phone.
