The platform for demand-responsive transport run by municipalities, transport operators and private sites such as outlet centres and hospitals. Passengers book in seconds, and your drivers see every trip in the vehicle.
Solutions
Whether it is a public dial-a-ride bus or a private shuttle, passengers book the same way everywhere, and you manage everything from one place.
Demand-responsive buses, shared taxis on demand and community buses from a single source. The monthly report for the council and the transport authority is ready at the end of the month.
Several operations, licences and clients in one account, with capacity checked for each section of the route.
Shuttles for guests, patients or staff, booked directly on your website and in your colours.
How a trip works
What a passenger books, the driver sees immediately in the vehicle and your administration sees in the overview. Nobody types anything twice.
In the browser, in the app or in the widget on your website. Those who prefer to call are entered by the control centre.
Seconds later the trip is on the tablet in the vehicle. Feedback with a single tap.
Every trip appears in the overview straight away, without any manual entry.
Website widget
An outlet centre adds the shuttle to its directions page, a hospital to its visitor information, a municipality next to the town hall opening hours. Guests book without leaving your site.
Administration
You see when your passengers want to travel, and RufBusle suggests where a trip is missing. You manage timetables, vehicles and bookings in the same browser window.
Security
What your data protection officers and your IT team will ask is answered here before the first conversation starts.
Booking pages
The booking pages are public. Take a look at what your passengers would see.
Pricing
