About
tickets from the only company that operates the route. With that in mind, Marcelo teamed up with Marcelo Vasconcellos, started working on the project and were surprised that they could achieve up to 60% savings on tickets.
Buser started operating in 2018 and today provides a technology platform for bus transportation: network planning, pricing, marketing, booking & support. Buser sub-contract hundreds of small, family run, zero overhead operating
