Although airplanes and trains have long been popular，But in Southeast Asia，Bus are still the first choice of transportation for millions of rural blue-collar workers to work in big cities。China also has a similar situation，According to data from the Ministry of Transport，China’s intercity highway passenger volume in 2014 was 190.8.2 billion people，And the train passenger volume is 2 billion-3 billion per year。

CatchThatBus provides bus ticket information 188bet sports betting app download inquiry and ordering services between Singapore and Malaysia。It just received $1.5 million in Pre-Series A funding，The investors are Singaporean venture capital firm Jungle Ventures and the famous Silicon Valley incubator 500 Startups，It is reported that the financing amount will be used to expand the Southeast Asian market。

Long-distance passenger transport is a typical seller’s market，Every time a customer comes to the passenger terminal，You all risk not being able to buy tickets or the time is not as expected，I’m glad I bought the right ticket，Often you have to endure various tortures in the car。

About buying tickets，Although 12306 is often complained about the poor experience，But it undoubtedly greatly improved the efficiency of ticket purchasing，Even migrant workers who are less connected to the Internet are gradually learning to benefit from it。No matter Southeast Asia or China，Intercity buses still have a large number of operators、The locations are scattered and it is difficult to integrate the entire network，This is still a chaotic market。

According to Viren Doshi, CEO of CatchThatBus，The company is currently 188bet app download in Singapore、Services available in more than 500 destinations in both Malaysia，Growing at a rate of 20-30% every month。

He thinks，Except ticket booking service，Also focus on trip information and customer service，The latter is what users lack even more。Services mentioned here，Presumably it is a relatively low-frequency transaction，Trying to increase revenue by providing value-added services，Like selling rhodiola on the T27 train to Tibet。

Doshi is determined that the bus market can undergo the same transformation as Uber disrupted taxis，The bus has the same unsatisfactory experience as the taxi，It is necessary to establish rules between multiple places to make passengers and passenger transport operators equal。

This round of financing will help CatchThatBus expand its market (may enter Thailand and Indonesia next)，Also used to face competition from powerful opponents，For example, RedBus, India’s largest online ticketing platform，The latter in 2013 with 1.USD 3.5 billion acquired by Naspers and Tencent joint venture，Currently expanding into the Southeast Asian market。

Domestic third-party bus 188bet app ticketing platforms are gradually emerging in recent years，The well-known Youchangtu.com、12308，Ctrip、Tongcheng also launched bus ticket business last year，There are also startup companies such as Express Bus，And many local online ticket purchasing websites。

Long-distance buses have similar chaos as the traditional freight market，Information asymmetry、Problems such as resource dispersion exist for a long time。The freight O2O market has gradually heated up in the past two years，And long-distance buses are also in urgent need of an Internet transformation。
