In a major boost to India’s intercity travel visibility, AbhiBus, a leading online bus ticketing platform under ixigo, has announced a strategic partnership with CheckMyBus, a global intercity bus metasearch engine based in Germany.
This integration will allow CheckMyBus users worldwide to seamlessly access AbhiBus’s network of 4,000+ bus operators and 3.5 lakh+ routes across India. From international travellers planning their Indian itineraries to domestic users looking for last-mile connectivity, the collaboration promises easier, smarter, and more transparent access to India’s vast bus network.
CheckMyBus, which operates in over 90 countries across 21 local domains and 12 languages, brings intercity bus options to a global audience through its metasearch platform. This new partnership not only opens the door for India’s domestic bus inventory to gain global visibility but also aligns with the growing demand for flexible and multi-modal travel options in the country.
“We are delighted to welcome AbhiBus’s vast network onto our platform,” said Marc Hofmann, CEO of CheckMyBus. “This integration marks a significant step in our mission to make bus travel a seamless global experience—India is a crucial piece of that journey.”
AbhiBus, already an official ticketing partner for several State Road Transport Corporations (SRTCs) and IRCTC, offers a robust and traveler-first experience with features like:
-
Abhi Assured: Ensuring timely, reliable bus services
-
Pink Seat: A women-only seating initiative
-

Through this partnership, the platforms aim to simplify travel planning for millions—bringing Indian bus travel into the international fold with transparency, choice, and trust.
