How to check if your GSRTC ticket is confirmed or waitlisted

When booking an online GSRTC ticket, your reservation SMS or PDF displays a 10-digit or 12-digit PNR (Passenger Name Record). If your seat status indicates CNF (Confirmed) with an assigned seat number, your booking is guaranteed. If it reflects a waiting list code (WL), seat allocation resolves as cancellations occur up to 2 hours before scheduled departure.

How to find your assigned bus plate number from PNR

Advance reservation tickets do not print the vehicle registration plate because GSRTC depot controllers assign physical buses and crews approximately 1 to 2 hours prior to origin departure. To find your physical bus plate:

Open ST Tracker and select the PNR search tab.
Enter your 10-digit ticket PNR number and tap Search.
As soon as the depot control room attaches an active coach to your scheduled trip service number, ST Tracker displays the bus registration plate (e.g. GJ-18-ZT-1028), driver crew status, and live map location.

Tracking on map & departure countdowns

Once the bus begins its trip, you can view real-time AIS-140 GPS telematics updated every 20 seconds. Monitor your pickup stop arrival ETA, current traveling speed, and delay alerts directly from your browser without installing heavy apps.

Questions people ask

How do I find my bus number from PNR in GSRTC?

GSRTC assigns physical bus plates 1 to 2 hours before scheduled departure. Enter your 10-digit PNR on ST Tracker to instantly see the assigned registration number and live GPS tracking link.

How do I check if my GSRTC ticket is confirmed or not?

Check your booking SMS or ticket PDF for seat numbers. A confirmed status shows CNF and seat allocation; waiting status (WL) is updated by depot dispatch up to 2 hours before departure.

Can I track a bus with only a PNR number?

Yes! On ST Tracker, switch to the PNR tab and enter your ticket reference to locate your assigned bus.

Why is my PNR not showing a live location yet?

Depots assign the physical bus 1–2 hours before scheduled departure. Live GPS activates once the bus is flagged active on the road.

Does this work for tickets booked on redBus / AbhiBus?

Yes, as long as you use the GSRTC operator PNR printed on your ticket confirmation SMS or email.
