The platform this industry deserves

Bus companies still dispatch with phone calls, faxes and spreadsheets. We are digitising the whole journey — from the enquiry to the trip on the driver's phone.

  • A price in seconds, not a quoting loop
  • Matching that finds idle capacity
  • One system instead of five tools

Our development is funded by IFB Hamburg.

What does Busly cost?

The full software is free. No subscription and no pricing per bus, driver or user, unlike most professional software.

€0 per month

Unlike other software, we also bring you orders. That is the only thing you pay a 5% commission on, plus 2.5% for optional online payment. Everything else costs €0, including your invoices. We only earn when we bring you something.
