Every empty run is wasted money.

A bus driving back empty costs fuel, driver time and wear – without a single cent of revenue. Busly knows when and where you're already on the road and places matching orders exactly there. That turns the return trip into a paid route.

Calendar matching

Your weekly plan fills itself.

Busly knows your scheduled trips, bookings and maintenance dates. It spots the free slots in between and only suggests orders that genuinely fit – in time and place, without conflicts, with minimal positioning.

  • Free slots detected automatically – from trips, bookings and maintenance
  • No double-bookings – conflicts are ruled out in advance
  • Positioning minimised through route optimisation
  • Large groups? Multiple buses are combined automatically
  • Driver rest periods and breaks are factored in

Transparent match score – no black box

Five factors determine how well an order fits your bus – open and transparent, no black box.

87/ 100
Very good match

All five factors combine into a match score from 0 to 100 – the higher, the better the order fits you.

Positioning

How short is the trip to the starting point? Short distances save empty kilometres, fuel and time.

Utilisation

How well do the passengers fill your bus? The better the utilisation, the more economical the trip.

Vehicle type

Does your bus type match the customer's request – exactly, similar or different?

Waiting time

How seamlessly does the order connect to your existing tour?

Equipment

Wi-Fi, toilet & co.: does your bus offer the requested equipment?

What this means for your operation

Intelligent matching works in the background – the effect shows directly in your utilisation and your earnings. You don't have to change a thing: Busly computes matching orders against your calendar and hands them to you. The decision stays yours.

More revenue per bus

Every filled slot and every monetised empty run raises the return per vehicle – without extra acquisition.

Fewer empty kilometres

Orders are placed so that positioning stays short. That saves fuel, time and wear.

Less idle time

Instead of sitting in the yard, your bus finds the next matching order – plannable up to two weeks ahead.

You stay in control

Busly suggests – which orders you take is your call. No obligation, no automation.
