QuickBus

Save time and money booking bus tickets across Africa with QuickBus.

Having initially launched in South Africa and Nigeria.

QuickBus aggregates booking for all major bus operators to create greater simplicity for travellers who can book via WhatsApp, USSD, QuickBus.com and Android App. QuickBus has integrated with dozens of payment providers across Africa to give a seamless customer experience whilst reducing “cash” fraud for the Bus Operators.

An undisclosed round of seed funding has been closed to speed its international expansion.

Humphrey Wrey, QuickBus founder and chief executive officer (CEO) commented:

“Our platform allows customers to see reviews and select seats based on their preferences because knowing if your 18-hour journey will be very uncomfortable or quite comfortable is valuable information. That was the genesis of the QuickBus idea. QuickBus promises to provide Africans ‘the most uncomplicated and hassle-free booking experience by booking your tickets in just a few clicks.’ Users can pay for bus trips on the platform via one of three options: credit card, mobile money and internet banking.”

The Nairobi-based startup joins a nascent African long-distance mobility space which has a “massive potential,” according to Kunal Savjani, partner at Shorooq Partners. Savjani says they had been “actively studying the East African market to see who was leading the way” in the sector based on trends from other emerging markets.
