On the occasion of Diwali Festival 2021, the Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation (GSRTC) — a Government of Gujarat initiative based in Ahmedabad — launched an ambitious Bus Travel Campaign to facilitate travel for citizens across Gujarat and neighboring states. The campaign was led under the visionary leadership of the Vice Chairman & Managing Director of GSRTC.
As part of the campaign, GSRTC’s Online Passenger Reservation System (OPRS) operated between 25th October to 16th November 2021, during which it recorded a historic milestone. Over the 23-day period, GSRTC successfully booked more than 1.5 million seats and generated revenue exceeding INR 300 million, setting a New World Record for the highest number of bus tickets booked through an online public transport system in such a short time span.
The campaign’s execution was powered by the OPRS Cell (EDP), Traffic Department, and Radiant Info Systems Private Limited, Bangalore, which provided crucial system integration and technical support.
This achievement not only highlights GSRTC’s commitment to digital transformation in public transportation but also showcases the growing trust of passengers in reliable, tech-driven government services during peak travel seasons.
