Genuinely free bus booking software is rare, and the versions that exist usually pay for themselves by taking a slice of every ticket or by capping you at a handful of bookings a month. We do it differently: a 7-day free trial with your actual routes, rates and passengers loaded in, no card required, and full access to booking, dispatch and driver apps. If it works, it stays at $99 a month flat with unlimited bookings, unlimited drivers and 0% commission — which for most bus and shuttle operators is cheaper by the second week than any commission-based free plan. If it does not fit, you export your data and walk away.

From booking to drop-off in four steps

01

Start the trial

02

Take real bookings

Run genuine passenger bookings and payments during the trial — nothing is a sandbox.

Frequently asked questions

Is there genuinely free bus booking software?

Truly free tools exist but almost always earn through per-ticket commission, booking caps or paid add-ons. We offer a free 7-day trial and then a flat $99/month with 0% commission, which is usually cheaper than a commission model within weeks.

What is included in the free trial?

Everything: online booking site, seat inventory, payments, dispatch board, driver app and SMS notifications, loaded with your real routes and rates. No card required.

What happens to my bookings if I do not continue?

You export customers, bookings and routes to CSV and keep them. Nothing is held hostage.

Are there per-booking or per-seat fees?

No. $99/month covers unlimited bookings, drivers, vehicles and dispatchers. Card processing fees are Stripe's and go direct.

Is the $299 setup fee refundable during the trial?

The setup fee is only charged when you decide to continue after the trial, so trialling costs nothing.

How long does setup take?

3–5 working days, including free migration of routes, rate tables, customers and upcoming reservations.
