Seat booking, manifests and parcel freight for inter-city bus operators
Request a demonstrationThe Douala–Yaoundé corridor moves thousands of passengers and a great deal of unbooked freight every day, most of it on handwritten tickets. The costs are familiar: a bus that leaves with sold seats empty, a parcel that cannot be traced, and agency takings that never quite match the manifest.
Opes Transit gives an operator one view across every agency, every departure and every parcel. Seats are sold once, freight is tracked from counter to collection, and each agency reconciles daily instead of monthly.
A visual seat map per departure. A seat sold at any agency or online disappears everywhere else immediately.
Passengers book and pay over MTN MoMo or Orange Money and travel on an SMS ticket with a scannable code.
The passenger manifest prints at departure with names, seats and destinations, which is what the gendarmerie will ask for.
Every parcel gets a waybill and a code. The sender and recipient can trace it, and only the named recipient can collect.
Each agency's sales, cash and MoMo receipts reconcile against the manifest daily, so shortfalls surface the same day.
Load factor, revenue per departure and per route, so timetables are set on what fills rather than on what has always run.
Inter-city bus and coach operators, travel agencies, parcel and freight forwarders, and shared taxi and minibus operators running scheduled routes in Cameroon.
Route, bus, seat layout, departure time and fare are set. The departure opens for sale across every agency and online at once.
Agency counters and online buyers select actual seats. Payment by cash at the counter or MoMo online; the seat locks instantly.
Freight is weighed, described, priced and given a waybill code. The sender receives the code by SMS for tracing.
The manifest prints, tickets are scanned at boarding, and no-shows are released for standby sale before the bus pulls out.
Parcels are released only to the named recipient against the code. Each agency's takings reconcile against the manifest for the day.
Yes. A booking made at any agency counter works the same way, and an SMS ticket with a code reaches any handset. A smartphone is convenient, not required.
Seats are held centrally. The moment a seat is sold at any counter or online it is locked everywhere, which is the single biggest source of dispute at the gate.
Yes. Parcel freight is a substantial revenue line for most operators, so waybills, pricing by weight and destination, tracking and controlled release are all built in.
Yes. Sales, cash and Mobile Money by agency and by counter clerk are visible as they happen, with a daily reconciliation that has to balance before the day closes.
