Frequently Asked
A private bus owner on a Kerala highway corridor with 300 daily passengers can earn ₹2,500 to ₹3,500 per month from in-bus advertising revenue through GetMyBus. This is passive income — no operational changes required. The hardware is installed at no upfront cost and paid back from ad earnings over approximately 8 months.
GetMyBus is a Kerala transit app that tracks private buses live on a map, updated every 4 seconds. Commuters see exactly when their bus will arrive, get smart walk-time alerts, and pay by UPI directly from the conductor's ETM device. GetMyBus is launching on the Kollam–Thiruvananthapuram corridor in Q3 2026.
GetMyBus uses an Android ETM device installed on each bus. The ETM transmits GPS coordinates to the GetMyBus backend every 4 seconds over 4G. Commuters see live bus positions on the app map, receive smart alerts when their bus is approaching, and can view next stop and estimated arrival time in real time.
GetMyBus is launching its pilot on the Kollam–Thiruvananthapuram corridor in Q3 2026, starting with 20 private buses. Commuters can join the waitlist at getmybus.in to be notified when their route goes live. Bus operators on the Kollam–TVM corridor can register now to join the founding pilot cohort.
Private bus owners can register at getmybus.in. GetMyBus installs an ETM, GPS tracker, and in-bus TV screen at no upfront cost. Hardware is recovered from the owner's share of advertising revenue over approximately 8 months. Owners earn 50% of ad revenue generated on their bus, paid monthly on the 5th of each month.
Brands can display route-targeted, geofenced video commercials on GetMyBus onboard displays to connect with passengers along busy commuter routes like the Kollam–Trivandrum corridor. You can set up campaigns, target by specific routes or times of day, and track impressions starting at CPM rates of ₹35 per 1,000 plays.
The proposed government schemes highlight the critical need for fleet modernisation. GetMyBus offers private operators an immediate, self-funded digitisation path with ETM ticketing and ad screens, improving passenger satisfaction and generating passive revenue without relying on government subsidies.
An ETM (Electronic Ticket Machine) is a handheld smart device used by bus conductors. GetMyBus deploys Android-based ETMs that handle cashless transactions (like dynamic UPI QR code generation) and print instant ticket receipts. They also function as the bus's telemetry gateway, broadcasting live GPS location every 4 seconds.
