About CTU
CTU (Chandigarh Transport Undertaking) started on 1 November 1966 with 30 buses, when Punjab Roadways was split at the reorganisation of Punjab. Under the Chandigarh Administration, it runs city buses across the tricity, suburban services, and long-route buses to Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Himachal, J&K, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan.
Long-route seats are booked on ctuonline.chd.gov.in or the CTU Musafir app, from ISBT-17 and ISBT-43.

We checked 24 times over the last 23 days — healthy on 23 days. It typically responds in about 0.1s.
Dashed line is its usual 0.1s, measured over the last 14 days. Gaps are days with no timing data.

Questions
This page checks ctuonline.chd.gov.in, CTU's online reservation site, and shows what Chandigarh passengers report. A rush of reports from the tricity means the booking system is in trouble. City buses do not need a booking and keep running.
Use the CTU Musafir app when ctuonline.chd.gov.in fails for everyone. Also check the limits: seats open 10 days ahead and booking closes 1 hour before departure. If money was deducted but the ticket is not confirmed, the payment gateway refunds it to the same account within 7 days.
Book on ctuonline.chd.gov.in or in the CTU Musafir app for Android. You can book as a guest with a mobile number or email, and up to six seats on one e-ticket. Pay by card, net banking or UPI; the e-ticket comes by email.
