Overview
BusMap is a mobile app that can help you to use public transports more conveniently and smartly.
BusMap was released in Ho Chi Minh City in 2013. After the development process, in 2019, BusMap was expanded to deploy in Hanoi, Da Nang and 2 major cities of Thailand: Bangkok, Chiang-Mai.
BusMap is an independent application, managed by Phenikaa MaaS Technology JSC.
Originated from the idea of founder Le Yen Thanh when he was a student at school. When it was just launched, BusMap connected and received the support of the Public Transport Management Center to exploit the bus data source to ensure that people can use public transport conveniently.
For Da Nang, BusMap signed a cooperation agreement with the 1022 Danang Public Service Center to deploy the official application to people in Da Nang.
The data on BusMap is the most accurate and up-to-date information according to the bus system in Ho Chi Minh and Da Nang. Particularly for Hanoi, because it has too many bus operators, BusMap is trying to connect, cooperate and collect official data sources from the parties to help people travel more easily.
BusMap Premium has just been applied to Android users with the benefit of not being interrupted by ads when using the application. But shortly, with the goal of further development, BusMap will build new features and bring more benefits to Premium users.
When subscribing and logging in on BusMap, you can get full access to currently active features, participate in promotions brought by BusMap's partners, get hot deals such as codes for a discount when booking bus tickets, Grab promotion codes and more.
At this moment, our primary support is still about traveling by bus. Besides, we are developing more types of transportation for better multimodal trip experience with buses, Grab, intercity buses, water buses, ferries, metro, etc.
