Public Transport Tickets

Public transport in Coimbatore is primarily based around the local bus network operated by the Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC).

For most local city bus journeys, tickets are purchased directly from the conductor on board. Fares vary depending on the distance travelled and the type of bus service. We recommend carrying some Indian rupees (INR) in small denominations, as this remains the most reliable way to pay for local journeys.

Digital payment options are increasingly available across the TNSTC network. UPI and debit/credit card payments have been introduced on many longer-distance (mofussil) services, although availability on individual local city buses may vary.

For longer-distance TNSTC journeys, tickets can also be booked in advance through the official TNSTC online booking system, which supports payment methods including cards, net banking and UPI.

Our tip: If you are visiting from outside India, keep a small amount of cash with you for local bus journeys rather than relying exclusively on card or mobile payments.
