The solution aims to help users save time and cost in a context marked by accelerated digital transformation.

BuuPass is a tech solution developed by a Kenyan startup.  It allows users to buy, air, and train tickets or compare the prices when multiple sellers exist.

For its co-founder Wyclife Omondi (photo, right), "It takes travelers unnecessary time and money to compare platforms while trying to book tickets. With BuuPass digitalization, both challenges are taken care of because we cut costs for users or commuters and reduce administrative overhead for bus operators by offering a fleet and parcel management solution."

The solution has an Android app that enables users to create accounts, access various features, and even pay tickets via mobile money. On PlayStore, the app has already been downloaded more than 10,000 times.

Let's note that Buupas also has an API that enables companies to get listed. Currently, Buupas claims over 9 million bus tickets sold online. Before becoming BuuPass, It was MagicBus Ticketing. Under that name, it won the 2016 Hult Prize Challenge, going home with a US$1 million check.
