Origin

One co-founder's frustration, of having to travel 30 kilometres from his native village to the nearest town just to book a bus ticket, lead to the birth of TicketGoose.[5] Launched on 15 August 2007, TicketGoose now covers more than 3000 destinations pan India, aggregate 700+ bus operators with 10,000+ buses plying on 20,000+ routes, and a network of 6000+ on-site agents.[6][7][8][9]
