Grow your bus business with smarter technology

A GDS (Global Distribution System) for buses is a single technology connection that distributes your seat inventory to multiple OTA platforms simultaneously. Instead of managing separate accounts for RedBus, AbhiBus, MakeMyTrip, and other platforms, a bus GDS sends your seat availability and pricing to all of them in real time from one place. When a passenger books on any OTA, the seat is immediately marked as sold on all other channels, preventing double-booking. QwikBus's GDS connects to every major Indian OTA platform, with stable real-time sync and inventory propagation in under 10 minutes.

Seat sharing is a technology that allows a bus operator to sell the same physical seat to multiple passengers whose journeys do not overlap. For example, if your bus runs Chennai–Vellore–Bangalore, seat 12A can be sold to a passenger travelling from Chennai to Vellore, and to a different passenger travelling from Vellore to Bangalore. Both bookings are confirmed with no conflict, and the operator earns revenue from the same seat twice on the same trip. Operators using QwikBus's seat sharing technology typically see 40–50% additional seat fills per trip.

QwikBus offers two pricing models. The first is a flat fee per trip per day, where you pay a fixed amount regardless of how many OTA seats sell on that trip. Plans start from ₹75 per trip per day. The second is a commission on OTA bookings only, where you pay a small percentage only when an OTA actually sells a seat. You choose the model that suits your business volume and booking mix. A one-time setup fee of ₹10,000 applies to both models — it covers platform configuration, GDS connections, and your branded booking website setup, and is negotiable based on fleet size and scope.

Most operators are fully live within 24 hours of signing up. Setup includes your GDS connections to OTAs, your branded booking website, and your operator mobile app. The QwikBus team handles the entire onboarding process and no technical expertise is required from the operator.

QwikBus GDS connects to every major Indian OTA platform including RedBus, AbhiBus, MakeMyTrip, Paytm Travel, GoIbibo, and many regional and national booking portals. All connections are managed from your single QwikBus dashboard. Stable, real-time inventory sync means that when a seat is booked on any OTA, it is immediately unavailable on all others — typical propagation under 10 minutes.

The main differences are: QwikBus offers both flat-fee and commission pricing models, while Bitla and EzeeBus are primarily commission-based. QwikBus is an independent company — Bitla is owned by MakeMyTrip, which creates a potential conflict of interest. QwikBus includes a fully branded booking website in all plans, which competitors charge extra for. QwikBus provides a dedicated customer success manager on all plans with 365-day support, rather than ticket-based support.

Yes. QwikBus's Starter plan is designed for operators with up to 5 buses who are taking their business online for the first time. There are no long-term contracts, and you can cancel any time. Operators start on Starter and move to Growth or Enterprise as their fleet grows.
