I am sharing my experience with the online booking facility provided by GSRTC (Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation). Day before the day I am writing this post, I booked ticket from Baroda to Ahmedabad via web (www.gsrtc.in). At Baroda station, there is formality to get seat in bus is like obvious first priority given to reserved seat. For non reserved seat(s), passenger(s) must stand in queue to get seat. The things moving as written above.
Bus was arrived at departure location before the time & about 30 minutes before from the time of departure. Conductor came out from Bus & announced about reserved seat numbers. Now, everyone aware about reserved seat numbers. One guy who was also standing in queue, he thoughts to book ticket via web as he got some idea that there was less possibility for him to get seat. He opened his smartphone & booked ticket. he didn't inform conductor who conducting passengers. One fellow who was standing in queue at higher position got the seat as nobody was aware about those numbers were booked after the reservation chart prepared & handover to conductor. That guy fought with conductor as well as also with that fellow. This event happened about 20 minutes. After some times, both compromised & traveled in sharing the seat together.
I have one idea to avoid such kind of situation. System should prevent online booking after reservation chart prepared. Also few seats should be free, i mean to say only few seats should be in reserved category. So, people should not worry about getting seat in bus. They can easily knows whether s/he will get the seat or not. This will be good in decision taking about to stay there or search for other option for travelling.
