From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BusJunction.com is a discount bus ticket search
engine based in the United States. It aggregates ticket information from
discount and Chinatown bus lines so that users can search for
tickets by price and departure time. [1] The
site also shows what amenities, such as wireless internet, power
outlets, and television, are available with a ticket.
The site is one of many to take advantage of the recent boom in
intercity bus transit in the East and Midwest United States.
According to a DePaul University study, scheduled
intercity bus departures grew 9.8% between 2007 and 2008, marking
the second consecutive year of robust growth. [2] With
this growth came the introduction of several premium-grade bus
lines serving routes along the East Coast, such as Megabus, BoltBus, and Vamoose Bus. BusJunction was the first
search engine to include these bus lines in its search results.
BusJunction doesn't sell tickets directly to the consumer;
rather, it redirects visitors to the appropriate bus line website
in order to make their purchase.
The company was established in April 2009 by Matthew Keller. It
is headquartered in Washington, DC.
Awards
In July 2009, the site was named Best New Travel Website of
2009 by Washingtonian Magazine. [3]
