Metasearch engine for intercity bus CheckMyBus and online bus ticketing platform redBus have entered into partnership for Southeast Asia and the Latin American markets. Under the agreement, redBus will provide their comprehensive inventory and ease of online bus booking options for both domestic and international travellers through the CheckMyBus platform.
Germany-based CheckMyBus, being a global platform, has been helpful to travellers from the United States, UK, France, and Germany. It has been assisting them in finding their bus routes and trips within Southeast Asian countries.
With over 50 million international travellers in Southeast Asia and more than 34 million having explored Latin America (LATAM) in 2023, this partnership is set to fuel growth, bringing about an extensive bus operator network and routes. According to CheckMyBus, 100 million user searches were witnessed on their platform in 2023.
Through this collaboration, CheckMyBus and redBus aspire to provide the best and most affordable bus booking experience for their users.
Marc Hofmann, CEO of CheckMyBus, said, “Our mission is to make bus travel simple. By providing access to the extensive redBus inventory to our global audience, we are taking a significant step toward promoting bus travel in Southeast Asia and LATAM, making it more accessible.”
Krishnan Ramaswami, Chief Business Officer, International Businesses, redBus, said “Through this one partnership, we can offer extensive bus ticketing options to the international traveller. Global travellers can book a ticket and discover a range of services in Southeast Asian and Latin American markets as conveniently as locals.”
“We expect this will improve our discoverability in newer markets and provide better accessibility to a larger customer base,” Ramaswami added.
