Busbud is a travel website specializing in intercity bus tickets as well as travel by trains, shuttles, ferries and carpooling.[1] As of 2017 Busbud covered services in North America, South America, Central America, Europe, Africa, Oceania and Asia.[2]
History
Busbud was founded in 2011 by Louis-Philippe Maurice, Michael Gradek, and Frederic Thouin after Maurice identified a lack of centralized digital booking options while traveling in South America. The company was established in Montreal, Canada.[3]
In May 2013, Busbud completed a seed round financing of $1.2 million US dollar.[4] In February 2022 Busbud announced an US$11 million funding round.
Still in 2022 Busbud merged with Recorrido, an intercity bus marketplace based in Santiago[5] and acquired Betterez, a reservation and ticketing management platform for ground transportation operators.[6]
In March 2024, the company acquired Buson, a bus booking marketplace in Brazil. This was noted as their largest M&A transaction at the time.[7] In May of the same year, Busbud acquired the South African software provider Ratality.
