The popular service offers tickets for over 12,000 routes across India with 700+ luxury bus operators.

You can find the exact location and navigate to your boarding point on a map.
Also, apart from the secure payment gateway for credit cards, debit cards, and net banking, customers can also book cash on delivery tickets just like their website. The app also allows you to pin ticket of your upcoming trip to your Start screen.
The Windows Store app offers additional features like directions to boarding points, bus tracking, journey tips, and history as well as instant notifications for bus location and special offers. Till December 31, 2013, Windows 8 users can get ₹75 ($1.20) off for a minimum purchase of a ₹500 ($8.05) ticket as part of launch promotion.
The app is available free on the Windows Phone Store (both Windows Phone 7.x and 8) and the Windows Store. So, whether you’re planning to visit family or a road trip, redBus.in is a fine app to have on your phone.
