New Delhi, Delhi, 4th of August, 2026 : Cleartrip, a Flipkart company, today launched Bus 2.0, a significantly expanded road travel experience that connects travellers to more than 6.5 lakh routes across 6,000+ cities, including destinations that lie beyond the reach of air and rail networks. With deeper network penetration, an intuitive booking journey and access to one of the country’s largest road travel inventories, Bus 2.0 enables travellers to seamlessly book buses alongside flights, trains and hotels, all on a single platform.
The category has emerged as an important touchpoint for Gen Z travellers. Today, more than 55% of bus bookings on Cleartrip come from Gen Z travellers. Students, solo travellers and first-job professionals increasingly choose buses for affordable weekend getaways, homebound trips and spontaneous travel. It offers a reliable alternative during times of high demand for train travel, making road travel more accessible than ever.
Cleartrip brings together leading private operators alongside state transport corporations, offering travellers choice across intercity and regional routes. With access to nearly 95% of the country’s private bus inventory and a growing network of government-operated services, Bus 2.0 gives travellers the depth of choice typically available only at physical bus terminals, now accessible from a phone.
Commenting on the launch, Gaurav Patwari, Chief Business Officer – Air, Cleartrip, said, “Buses connect more parts of India than any other form of transport, and for many young travellers, booking a bus is often their first experience with travel arrangements. Bus 2.0 is designed with this traveller in mind, offering flexibility, extensive coverage, and the assurance that their chosen route will be available when needed.“
He further added, “With this launch, we are a step closer to our vision of making Cleartrip a comprehensive multi-modal travel platform.”
Bus 2.0 marks the latest step in Cleartrip’s platform build, following the expansion into trains and the deepening of international hotel supply, toward a single destination for every way Indians travel. With flights, hotels, trains, buses, and holidays now available on one platform, Cleartrip continues to reduce the friction for a traveller on their next journey.
