Singh said that efforts were afoot to computerize all the government department functioning with a view to bring about efficiency, transparency and responsiveness.
G.S. Bali, Transport and Tourism Minister, said that the on line booking would be initially available for Volvo buses to begin with and was likely to be extended to other services in a phased manner. He said that the HRTC had increased its revenue during last four years to Rs. 76 crore and minimized the accident rate in the state.

Please update the booking site address of HRTC to http://www.hp.gov.in/hrtctickets
The one mentioned in the post does no longer work now
Agreed with Mr yogesh,there are lot of to be done on this wedsite.one dedicated staff should be deputed for upgradition and cn answer of public comments otherwise inauguration by the CM does not have any meaning.Secondly the booking counter at HP Bhawan needs to be facelift and should have some modern touch to attaract tourists.
