Since its inception, BuuPass has transformed how Africans in Kenya, Uganda,
Tanzania, and South Africa access transportation – processing over 20 million ticket bookings across its extensive network of bus operators and multiple partners.
The company, trusted by over 1 million customers, has established itself as Africa’s most trusted name in travel technology.
“Our mission has always been to make travel accessible, convenient, and secure for everyone in East Africa,” said Sonia Kabra, Co-founder at BuuPass. “The milestones we’ve achieved over the past five years demonstrate our commitment to ensuring ease in transportation.”
BuuPass is the only platform that offers multi-modal transport solutions thanks to products like the Bus Management Service(BMS), MarketPlace, and Flight and Train options – customers can get bus, train, or flight tickets on the platform. With the launch of the new product Corporate Travel, corporate bodies have full visibility and control of their travel for flights, buses, and trains.
The company’s vision has attracted considerable investment from global venture
capital firms, enabling rapid expansion and continuous platform enhancement.
BuuPass also continues to expand its partner network. In addition to their
long-standing partnership with Safafricom’s M-Pesa app where customers can easily purchase tickets, they recently announced collaborations with Stanbic Bank Kenya and welcomed new operators, Team SWAT Logistics, further extending its service reach.
The platform’s technological superiority is evident in its ability to process a
substantial volume of transactions monthly with exceptional reliability, setting
industry benchmarks for dependability and security. This technical excellence has translated to outstanding customer satisfaction.
Market expansion remains a key focus for BuuPass, which now serves travelers in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, South Africa, and Rwanda, with plans for further expansion into additional markets in the near future. The company remains dedicated to enhancing the travel experience through continuous innovation, with recent platform upgrades including multiple booking solutions via Web, USSD, the BuuPass mobile app & 3rd Party Super apps, advanced seat selection capabilities, real-time travel updates, multiple payment options (M-Pesa and card payments), inclusive travel insurance and enhanced payment security protocols.
“While we’re proud of what we’ve accomplished, we’re even more excited about
what’s ahead,” added Kabra. “Our growth trajectory and customer loyalty speak
volumes about the trust East Africans place in our platform. We hope to serve 15
more African countries with this level of efficiency.”
The company’s commitment to digital transformation in the transportation sector has positioned it as an essential service provider in the region’s rapidly evolving technology landscape. As the leading mobility platform in East Africa, BuuPass is not just keeping up — they are setting the pace.
