Our take
The problem that Distribusion is aiming to solve is that the reservation systems of the various bus travel providers are disparate, meaning that, in order for travel agencies to sell intercity bus tickets, they have to connect to and maintain multiple reservation systems.
To solve this, Distribusion has built what it calls a GDS (global distribution system) for intercity and airport shuttle bus products. This includes offering an API, white label solution, and widget to enable travel companies, and their customers, to interface with a plethora of intercity bus products from a single source. The result is an extra revenue stream for airline and travel industry partners and a seamless booking experience for customers.
Since pre-2020, the company has achieved an impressive 10x growth in passenger numbers and it plans to connect 100M passengers per year at the end of 2024. New Series C funding will help the company invest in the expansion of more carriers and geographies, whilst developing technology to advance its retailing capability.
