Paytm now accepted at unreserved bus counters

Mobile payment and e-commerce platform Paytm on Wednesday announced that users can now pay with their Paytm wallets at unreserved bus ticket counters.

Currently bus counters operated by state transport undertakings (STUs) in Uttarakhand and Rajasthan accept Paytm. "With this use case, Paytm has achieved a breakthrough in bringing digital payments to the unreserved bus ticketing sector," said Kiran Vasireddy, Vice-President, Paytm, in a statement.

Paytm users can simply scan the Paytm QR code and send the exact amount to book their bus tickets at zero transaction fee. The company is actively working to forge partnerships with other state-owned and private bus operators and bring them on-board.
