Through The Hosteller’s Glu App, tech-savvy travellers can check bus schedules, book tickets, and track their buses in real time. Whether planning a weekend getaway or a multi-city adventure, users can now manage their entire itinerary from a single platform. Additionally, budget-friendly options and exclusive promotions make this integration even more appealing, offering access to various transport choices, from luxury buses to sleeper coaches. For those embracing the workation trend, this seamless connectivity between cities makes The Hosteller an even more attractive option for remote workers.

A major highlight of this partnership is dual customer support, ensuring quick assistance for travellers dealing with last-minute plan changes, cancellations, or delays. With both brands working together, customers can expect enhanced service and faster resolutions.

Speaking about the partnership, Pranav Dangi, Founder and CEO of The Hosteller, said, “Our partnership with redBus strengthens the travel ecosystem we offer our guests and lays the foundation for even more seamless services in the future. Integrating redBus on our website and web app ensures that every traveller staying at The Hosteller has everything they need under one roof, eliminating the hassle of booking travel separately.”

Manoj Agarwala, CBO of redBus, added, “As the leading online bus ticketing platform, our mission is to make travel planning seamless and accessible. Young travellers are a key demographic for us, and this partnership caters to them, as hostels are widely used by younger people. Additionally, many of The Hosteller’s properties are in offbeat destinations where buses are the primary mode of transport. By working together, we are offering a ‘one-stop solution’ for all booking needs.”
