It’s mobile-friendly as well, so travelers can easily book tickets on their phones or tablets.

Zaui helps bus operators fill more seats and boost revenue through several key features:

• Route Optimization & Scheduling: Plan efficient schedules with multiple stops and connections, so you can add more trips or routes without confusion. An optimized timetable means you can serve more passengers with the same fleet.
  
• OTA Integration & Distribution: Expand your reach by connecting to online travel marketplaces and partner networks. Zaui integrates with major distribution channels like Busbud and GoToBus (among others) to expose your bus inventory to a global audiencezaui.com. By selling tickets through OTAs and travel agents in addition to your own website, you’ll tap into new customer markets and increase bookings.‍

Zaui supports automated price adjustments based on demand or time to departure, helping you fill last-minute seats or capitalize on high-demand periods.

Absolutely. Zaui’s bus booking software can handle both scheduled route ticketing and private charter bookings in one system. You can list your daily fixed-route trips (with per-seat ticket sales) alongside one-off charter services (priced per vehicle or group). The platform supports different seat types or classes, variable pricing, and real-time availability for each. This flexibility allows you to maximize revenue , for instance, selling individual seats on a regular route, while also taking group bookings for full-bus charters when available, all without double-booking any vehicles or drivers.

Zaui integrates with all major payment gateways, including Stripe, PayPal, Square, Authorize.Net, and more zaui.com. You can accept credit cards and other popular payment methods from customers around the world. All online transactions are PCI-compliant and securely processed through the platform. This gives both operators and passengers a smooth, secure checkout experience , whether someone is buying a ticket on your website or paying in person via the mobile app.
