Nuremberg, November 16, 2016 – CheckMyBus, a leading meta search engine in the bus travel space, increases its inven-tory by adding select content of Busbud’s API, another major player in the bus booking industry.

The partnership allows travelers to find an even larger amount of international bus connec-tions on CheckMyBus and to benefit from the most convenient and comprehensible booking experience offered by Busbud.

CheckMyBus partners with Busbud, a leading bus OTA.

“Busbud is a strong partner with an excellent booking technology in markets in which we strive for further growth. This way travelers benefit from an even more extensive portfolio of bus connections worldwide. By simultaneously comparing offers of bus providers as well as those of OTAs, users always get the best prices,” comments Marc Hofmann, CheckMyBus’ Chief Executive Officer.

Busbud further expands its reach with international travelers.

In recent months, Busbud has increased its strategic focus on the B2B side of the bus travel tech space by giving access to its inventory to exclusive partners like Voyages-SNCF, Skyscanner, Liligo and more. Opening the API to CheckMyBus, one of the leading meta search bus engines in the travel space, is another step towards distributing its global inventory to a wider audience.

Thomas Geissmann, Busbud’s VP of Revenue comments on the new partnership: “CheckMyBus is directly in line with our strategy of making sure that our bus partners’ offers are displayed as broadly as possible. We’ve closely followed CheckMyBus’ work over the years and we’re glad to finally create a partnership that’ll benefit international travelers.”

CheckMyBus works directly with bus companies and with high quality booking platforms such as Busbud with the intention of supplying customers with the best international bus of-fers and booking experience.
