Rediff Bus FareSearch allows users to search for buses plying between states and get detailed schedules, pick up points, check availability and book seats for over 1000 destinations in the country.

The new search service currently covers over 20,000 buses, including both private and state transport buses for seven states - Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh.

The service also allows users to get a comparative view of the trains available for the chosen bus route helping users to plan their travel more efficiently.

"The service is designed like a simple search engine utility which does not requires any registration process.

Users can classify their search based on the boarding location and also select the type of bus which includes A/C, Non A/C, seating or sleeper class", it said.

Once the user has finalised the appropriate bus, the tickets can be booked either through travel agents whose details are also available on the system and also through partner sites, it said.
