Speaking on the new launch, Prashant Kumar, CEO & Co-Founder, zingbus, highlighted: “Nearly 83% of Indian consumers are still inclined towards paying cash for any service or product.

He added, “From 3Mn+ zingbus customer base, 72% of consumers hail from tier ⅔ cities & towns, and with the launch of ‘Pay at Bus’ we are aligned to grow the tech cohort of the nation, including those stranded groups of offline users, giving them an opportunity to first-hand experience and understand the brand features and benefits, and then pay for the experience.”
