Bus travel is how a lot of us get around: between cities, back home for the weekend, or off on a quick getaway. And whether you're off on a solo adventure, a family vacation, a friends' trip, or a spiritual journey to a pilgrimage town - buses are often the easiest, most affordable way to get there. If you’re a Scapia Co-branded Cardholder, you can book buses on the Scapia App! The experience is smooth, sprinkled with some helpful features – and all the perks that come with booking for your travel on the Scapia app!
Read on to know all about Scapia Buses.
What is Scapia Buses?
Scapia Buses is a feature on the Scapia app that helps Scapia Co-branded Credit Cardholders book bus tickets – with access to over 5,000+ bus operators that cover 25,000+ routes across India, including both private operators and state-owned RTCs (Road Transport Corporations).
Whether you're booking an overnight AC sleeper for a long-distance trip, a quick intercity hop for a long weekend getaway, or a scenic ride to the hills, the coast, or a heritage town, Scapia Buses brings safe, reliable, and highly rated options, all in one place.
A Smooth Experience: From Booking to Arrival!
Scapia Buses gives Scapia Co-branded Credit Cardholders a smooth experience right from when they’re looking for the right bus to when they’re about to reach their destination. Here are some feature highlights that help make your bus journeys hassle-free!
Driver details and live bus tracking: Before your journey, the bus operator's contact details are available on the Travel Bookings page in the app once your booking is confirmed. On the day of travel — typically a couple of hours before departure — you'll also receive the bus driver/helper's contact details, bus details, and a live tracking link via WhatsApp/SMS. So you can see exactly where your bus is in real time and plan your arrival at the boarding point accordingly.
Wake-up call near your destination: If you've ever taken an overnight bus, you know the feeling — you don't want to fall fully asleep, because what if you miss your stop? With Scapia Buses, you can opt in for a wake-up call as you approach your destination. The app tracks your bus and gives you a heads-up when you're close, so you can rest through the journey and still make it off at the right stop.
Book a bus for someone else: You can book a bus ticket for a friend or family member directly from your Scapia app. Just make sure the traveller's name and gender match the actual passenger's details. You can also add their contact information, so all travel notifications — including driver details and the live tracking link - go directly to them.
Get the Scapia Co-branded Credit Card Perks when you book your Bus Ticket!
Like all travel offerings within the Scapia App, cardholders can enjoy some great perks when you book on Scapia Buses too!

Get 20% rewards back as Scapia Coins: Every bus ticket you book on the Scapia app earns you 20% rewards back in the form of Scapia Coins — some of the best rewards on travel bookings you'll find on a credit card with travel benefits — which you can accumulate and redeem for your future bookings on the Scapia App: Hotels, Flights, Trains, Buses, Experiences, Visa, Trips, and Stores.
