BuuPass, a Kenyan mobility startup, has bought QuickBus in an effort to expand in Nigeria and South Africa.

BuuPass is a B2B2C travel marketplace that was founded in 2016 and allows users to search, compare, and book tickets by USSD, mobile app, or web.

The startup has raised over US$100 million in total value of goods sold and sold over six million travel tickets thus far. It has also participated in the Google for Startups Accelerator Africa and received funding from the Google for Startups Black Founders Fund.

In contrast, QuickBus was introduced in 2019 and compiles long-distance bus tickets into a marketplace, facilitating price comparison and trip scheduling for customers while also assisting bus firms in operating more profitably.

Now that BuuPass has bought it, the company will be better able to expand strategically into South Africa and Nigeria, where it plans to add more than 5,000 new routes to its network. In addition, BuuPass will integrate with more than 100 bus companies and several well-known online distribution alliances, such as FNB, Vodacom, and MTN.

“We are excited to expand our footprint in Africa as we actively look for more opportunities to bring our platform to new African markets. BuuPass aims to create a comprehensive, continent-wide network of interconnected transport options for seamless global and continental travel, and this acquisition is a significant milestone towards that goal,” said BuuPass co-founder Sonia Kabra.
