Online bus booking system
An online bus booking system on your own website
Every Rydmate transport business gets a website that shows departures with seats left and sells them. Passengers pay online, the money goes to your own account, and the seat disappears from the park counter the moment it is booked.
The problem
What goes wrong without it
Passengers have to come to the park
Without online booking, travellers queue at the park or call someone who writes their name in a book.
Booking platforms take a cut
Third-party booking apps charge a percentage of every ticket and own the relationship with your passenger.
Online and counter out of sync
Seats sold online and at the counter clash when they come from separate lists.
How Rydmate handles it
What you get
Your own booking site
A website under your name, with your routes, departures and seats left.
Payment to your account
Passengers pay by card or transfer, and the money goes straight to your own payment account.
One seat map
Online bookings and counter sales share the same departure, so a seat is never sold twice.
QR ticket by default
The passenger gets a ticket with a QR code to show at boarding.
On your own domain
Put the booking site on your own web address when you are ready.
Questions
Online bus booking system: what operators ask
- Does Rydmate charge a commission on online bookings?
- No. Rydmate is a fixed monthly plan. Payment processor fees apply as normal, and the ticket money goes to your own account.
- Can the booking site use our own domain?
- Yes. A business can connect its own domain once it proves it owns it.
- What happens if a passenger does not complete payment?
- The seat is held for a short time while payment is confirmed and released automatically if it is not.
