Busticket

What Busticket does

Busticket, operating legally as M Solutions SPA, is a Chilean cloud-based SaaS company founded in 2018 that builds software to digitize ticket sales and fleet management for passenger transport operators. Its core platform, Sistema Venta de Pasajes (marketed as Onboard Ticket), replaces paper-based on-board ticketing with a cloud system that supports on-board, agency, and online sales channels, integrates with payment processors Webpay Transbank and PayPal, and exposes a web-based administrative dashboard for real-time sales and route monitoring. The platform includes role-based access control, electronic invoicing, branch interconnection, and a mobile POS system for drivers.

In 2025 the company launched Busticket Supervisor AI 24/7, a computer vision add-on that uses 1080p and 360-degree in-bus cameras (with night vision) to count boarding and alighting passengers, validate every ticket transaction against payment data, and detect fraud indicators on a 24/7 basis. The company claims this module can recover up to 50% of revenue leakage from unrecorded sales, a problem it states affects roughly 9 out of 10 bus operators in Latin America.

Busticket generates revenue through multi-year SaaS subscriptions, POS hardware sales, professional implementation services, and transaction fees on ferry bookings. It operates a direct enterprise sales motion via WhatsApp, email, and Calendly-scheduled virtual meetings, supported by content marketing. The company is headquartered in Santiago, Chile (with a secondary Santiago address listed), maintains a regional office in Rio de Janeiro through partner Orion Solutions and Digital Projects, and serves customers in Chile, Costa Rica, Panama, and Brazil across bus, ferry, tourism, and entertainment verticals.
