Why it matters
A 2010 study by LIRNEasia estimated revenue losses of around 15% for the state bus operator and around 25% for private bus owners, from fares not recorded, tickets not issued and passengers not paying. The figures are old and vary by operator, but the causes are familiar to most owners today.
Make every seat a record
When each reserved seat is a booking with a reference, a passenger name and a payment status, an unrecorded seat stands out. Online booking moves part of the cash away from the bus altogether.
Let passengers pay before they board
Card payments go straight to the company’s merchant account and are linked to the booking. Pay-on-board bookings remain possible, but staff can see which ones are unpaid before departure.
Give the conductor a list, not a notebook
A passenger list per departure, with seat numbers and a boarding PIN for each booking, lets the conductor record boarding against real bookings. Owners can then compare seats booked, seats boarded and money received.
Separate logins and clear permissions
When every staff member has their own login and only the access they need, changes are attributable. Remove access immediately when someone leaves.
