What Movelia does

Movelia (legal entity Movelia Tecnologías, S.L.) is a Madrid-based private Spanish travel-ticketing aggregator operating since 2001. The platform unifies bus, train, and ferry inventory from more than 100 transport operators across Spain and into Portugal, France, and other European destinations, exposing over 300,000 searchable routes to end travelers. Its core product is a unified search-and-book engine that supports direct tickets as well as combined multi-carrier tickets purchased in a single transaction, with electronic ticketing and mobile boarding. The platform is delivered through movelia.es, an upcoming iOS/Android application, a call center (902 64 64 28), and a network of physical travel agencies.

The revenue model is transaction-based: Movelia charges a per-ticket management fee (coste de gestión) collected via Movelia Tecnologías, S.L., with the fee varying by operator and sales channel, plus ancillary fees for ticket changes, cancellations, seat selection, and add-ons such as bicycle and pet transport. Premium-class tiers (Supra+, Premium, Economy) and a loyalty program (Tarjeta Fidelizacion) layer additional monetization. Strategic partnerships span flagship Spanish carriers (ALSA, Renfe, Iryo, Ouigo), regional and provincial operators (Damas, Therpasa, Cambus, Conda, Socibus, Comes, Hife, Agreda), and international partners (Rede Expressos, Aerobús), supplemented by a Tiqets integration for tourist activities and a separate shopping-club product (Privicompras).

Customer segmentation is horizontal across individual travelers, groups (with up to 30% group discounts), and travel agencies reselling tickets. Go-to-market is primarily direct-to-consumer via the website and call center, with inside-sales support via the call center and a reseller/channel layer through travel agencies. The company is founder/management-owned, has no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no disclosed management team in the source data.
