The portal offers online real time booking and seat selection. Tickets on Bookmyconnect.com can also be booked through a mobile application, WAP or through a call centre.
RC Baid, Chairman & Chief Mentor, SVLL Connect said, “SVLL is one of the largest fleet owners in the country with over 7635 commercial vehicles. As we continue to reinforce our presence in the road transport sector, our alliance with Scania marks a key milestone in allowing us to cross the threshold into a brand new segment of transportation in India. With Scania’s manufacturing expertise, Dilip Chhabria of automotive design and SVLL’s network reach in the country, our combined capabilities will enhance our ability to offer world-class facilities to our customers in the space of intra-city luxury bus services in India.”
While doing an online booking passengers can put in their requests on F&B for breakfast, lunch and dinner and pick up and drop at their requisite places. These buses will have stopovers at exclusive SVLL bus-stops within the city.
According to Deepak Baid, Director, SVLL Connect, “The Indian Luxury Transport is rapidly improving with various new technology adoptions and growing requirements for comfort travelling. Promising to make your travel exciting and hassle free, SVLL Connect has launched the buses first in the western market and after a year or so, we plan move to other parts of the country”.
These luxury buses will incorporate in-house restrooms and pantries, and ultra luxurious facilities such as Personal LCD screen with USB compatibility and Sennheiser headphones along with Mobile/Laptop charging points and Wi-Fi Connection. The cabs can be chosen from the three stylish options of Innova, Ertiga and Etios.
