How bus station automation becomes a source of profit: the case of the Ukrpas system

In the era of digitalization, bus stations need more than just timetables and ticket offices. They must be efficient, digital, and convenient for both passengers and businesses. This is the philosophy behind Ukrpas, the creator of the Smart Bus Station system. The system helps bus stations automate and simplify their processes (dispatching, ticket sales, bus arrivals, etc.), as well as increase profitability and reduce costs.

The Ukrpas system is a system that is connected to the bus station and completely regulates the process of managing the bus terminal infrastructure. Only basic things are needed for connection: a computer, the Internet, a receipt printer, and a bank terminal. The Ukrpas team takes care of everything else, from settings to staff training. 

This provides the bus station with a single platform for managing routes, ticket offices, and services, all with the support of our managers. 

Advantages for bus stations after connecting to the system:

• over 130,000 trips daily within Ukraine and abroad;
• up to 12% profit from ticket sales;
• exclusive contracts with FlixBus, RegioJet, Distribution;
• automated payment for entry to the station;
• modern PRRO that fully fiscalizes sales.

The Ukrpas system also allows the bus station to provide additional services: from paid seat selection to child car seats. And all this without complex integration or third-party solutions. 

The carrier's online office allows each partner to independently manage routes, stops, fares, and agency rates.

We are particularly proud of our dispatching tools. The dispatcher receives a web interface through which they can quickly control and manage flights in real time. And if the bus station wants to increase the speed of passenger service, an automatic self-service ticket machine (PTKS) can be installed.

Conclusion

The Ukrpas team does not just supply software for automating and modernizing bus stations. We create an ecosystem in which bus stations can grow. The Ukrpas system is an investment in order, legality, and convenience. All calculations with carriers, reporting, international contracts — everything is already included in the platform.

The future of bus stations is digital interaction, automation, and convenience.
