Pathik is an android-based bus ticketing app developed by NIC Uttarakhand to enable citizens to access services of Uttarakhand Transport Corporation online, including, seat reservation, ticket cancellation, ticket refund, and bus tracking. It also allows one to check the seat availability so that one can plan the journey with ease. With the Pathik app, a user can book his or her tickets one month from the expected journey date (excluding date of journey). The bus seat reservation booking facility will be closed two hours prior to the scheduled departure time and date of the proposed trip. After a successful online transaction, this e-Ticket will be sent to the email address listed in the passenger's profile during registration. This e-ticket can be printed from the person's email or through the Pathik web portal. The registration is not mandatory and a person can also book tickets as a Guest User. For a Guest User, a valid mobile number is required. On booking the ticket, an SMS is sent to the registered mobile, which can be produced at the time of boarding with valid photo ID proof for travelling.
