About Us

We are reputed to be Kenya’s largest online bus, train, and flight ticketing platform, transforming bus travel by bringing ease and convenience to millions of Kenyan travelers. We work with the country’s leading bus, train, and flight operators to bring you the convenience of digital bookings.

Our History

BuuPass is driven by young entrepreneurs passionate about solving real everyday problems by making simple and powerful solutions. Our idea was born in response to the 2016 Hult Prize Challenge, a global student competition for social entrepreneurship, which launches students into developing scalable business models to solve global challenges.

The challenge for 2016 was to better connect people to goods, services, and resources. After a year-long process, the diverse team went on to win the prestigious competition with President Bill Clinton, under their former name Magic Bus Ticketing.
The BuuPass team is motivated by the idea of transforming inefficient transport systems into a catalyst for growth and impact, to connect people to opportunities.

Our Vision

To have a world where people can travel on their terms, be connected to opportunities, and live a life without borders. They provide simple transport solutions to help people get from Point A to Point B. BuuPass believes everyone’s time is valuable.

When it comes to booking tickets, we believe you should be able to reserve your seat and make payments with convenience. We strongly believe you should have the right to choose what works best for you regarding your time and money. We offer digital solutions for bus booking.
