  • BusUp’s new AI tool, Brainer, predicts delays and optimizes routes for 55,000 daily passengers, improving punctuality and service quality.
  • Founded in 2016, BusUp operates in five countries, coordinating over 2,500 daily services through a network of 170 local transport companies.
  • Projected to grow from €30 million in 2023 to €100 million by 2026, despite uncertain economic conditions, highlighting robust market demand.

BusUp, a Catalan mobility management provider, has launched an artificial intelligence tool named Brainer. This advanced tool leverages machine learning to anticipate service quality issues, enabling proactive management of routes and schedules. Eva Romagosa, co-founder and CSO of BusUp, emphasized that Brainer will streamline operations and scale their technology and services, aligning with their growth and expansion strategy.

The AI-driven Brainer tool allows for real-time alerts on deviations, delays, and incidents, enhancing the experience for the daily commuter base. By analyzing historical data, the tool identifies operational patterns and improvement areas, optimizing routes to react dynamically to demand shifts. This functionality not only boosts efficiency but also directly contributes to the company’s ambitious revenue target of €100 million by 2026.

BusUp’s commitment to digital transformation in the bus transport sector is underscored by its rapid adoption of technology. The firm, with a strong foothold in Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil, plans to further commercialize Brainer, potentially as a software-as-a-service solution for other operators. With financial backing from the European Union’s Next Generation initiative and support from the Spanish government, BusUp is well-positioned to enhance global corporate mobility services.
