BuuPass, a Kenyan travel booking platform, has acquired QuickBus, a major bus ticketing company in South Africa and Nigeria. This move expands BuuPass’s reach across Africa.
What BuuPass Does:
Founded in 2016, BuuPass lets users browse, compare, and buy bus tickets on their website, app, or even through a simple USSD code on any mobile phone.
They’ve already sold over 6 million tickets and have over 16 million users.
Benefits of the Acquisition:
BuuPass will now operate in South Africa and Nigeria, adding over 5,000 new bus routes to their platform.
This gives customers more options and a wider network to travel across Africa.
BuuPass will also integrate with over 100 new bus companies and popular online partners like FNB, Vodacom, and MTN.
Why this Matters:
This acquisition is a big step towards BuuPass’s goal of becoming a one-stop shop for booking travel across Africa.
Founders Factory Africa, an investor in both BuuPass and QuickBus, is excited about this growth and the positive impact it will have on travelers.
The Future:
BuuPass is committed to further expansion and making travel booking easier for Africans.
Founders Factory Africa will continue to support BuuPass as they reach new heights and become a truly Pan-African travel platform.
