Run your bus business online, without paying a marketplace for every seat
Every bus operator in India faces the same trade-off. List on the big aggregators and hand over a commission on every ticket plus your customer relationship. Or stay offline and lose the passengers who now book everything on their phone. Ghumantoo is the third option: a white-label bus booking platform where operators manage routes, buses, schedules and pricing themselves, passengers book online, and the operator keeps the customer.
The demo above is the operator admin panel, logged in as a sample company. It is the same system behind the Ghumantoo passenger app.
What an operator can do from the panel
- Routes — define origin, destination, boarding and dropping points, distance and duration.
- Buses — register vehicles with seat layouts (seater, sleeper, mixed), amenities, documents and photos.
- Schedules — assign buses to routes by day and time, with recurring departures and blackout dates.
- Pricing rules — base fares plus rules for weekends, festivals, last-minute demand, seat position and early-bird discounts. Change once, apply everywhere.
- Bookings — see recent bookings with booking ID, route, passenger, amount and travel date; handle cancellations, refunds and reschedules from one place.
- Occupancy alerts — get told when a departure is under-booked (time to promote it) or nearly full (time to add a bus).
- Checklists — pre-departure safety and cleanliness checks that crew complete on their phone.
- Staff management, crew assignment and attendance — drivers, conductors and helpers rostered per trip, with attendance captured at departure.
- Feedback — passenger ratings and comments tied to the exact bus, crew and trip.
- Revenue — daily, route-wise and bus-wise revenue with settlement reports.
- Profile and onboarding — basic details, company details, documents and bank details, with a status tracker, so new operators can be verified and go live quickly.
For the passenger
Passengers search a route and date, pick seats on a visual layout, choose boarding and dropping points, pay online and receive an e-ticket with a QR code. The companion Ghumantoo Android app (also in our portfolio) gives them booking history, live trip status and support in their pocket.
Who this is for
- Individual bus operators who want their own booking website and app.
- Regional travel companies with 5–100 buses that want to stop paying aggregator commissions.
- Entrepreneurs building a bus-booking marketplace for a state or region, onboarding multiple operators under one brand.
- Corporate and college shuttle operators who need fixed-route booking with monthly passes.
Why operators choose a custom platform
Because the rules of a bus business are local. Pricing changes for Chhath and Diwali. Boarding points move. A conductor needs to sell the last three seats in cash at the stand and have them show as sold online immediately. A generic SaaS rarely bends that far. Ghumantoo was built with operators, and we customise it further for each deployment: your branding, your payment gateway, your GST invoicing, your reports.
