Lost Bus Ticket – Recovery Tips and How HERQ Helps

Losing a bus ticket can be frustrating, especially when you’re about to travel or already on the move. While many bus companies now use digital tickets, paper tickets are still common and may be required for boarding. Acting fast is important—whether it’s reprinting your pass, contacting the operator, or publishing a notice on the HERQ Lost & Found app.

Immediate Steps if You Lose Your Bus Ticket

1. Check bags, pockets, and folders: bus tickets often slip between items.
2. Revisit recent locations: look at waiting areas, cafés, or nearby shops where you may have stopped.
3. Contact the bus operator: many companies can reprint your ticket with your booking reference or ID.
4. Use HERQ: publish a notice if your paper ticket was misplaced—fellow travelers or staff may report finding it.
5. Arrive early: give yourself enough time to resolve the issue before departure.

Bus Company Policies

• Digital tickets: can usually be re-downloaded from the operator’s app or your email.
• Paper tickets: may require showing ID and booking details for reissue; some companies may charge a small fee.
• Open tickets: if you lose one, contact the issuing office—rules vary by company.

Tip: Always keep a screenshot or photo of your ticket on your phone.
