Driven by the mission to digitize ground transportation, Reservamos has developed a technological ecosystem capable of connecting millions of travelers in a more convenient way. 

Reservamos is a Mexican travel tech company, founded in 2014 under the vision of its founders Sebastián Gómez, Andrés Sucre, and Adrián Cuadros, with the goal of driving the digitalization of the bus sector and enhancing the online purchasing experience for travelers, primarily in the LatAm region.

Upon realizing that the e-commerce platforms of companies were underutilized while long lines persisted at bus terminals, Andrés, Sebastián, and Adrián decided to develop specialized technology to strengthen their digital sales channels. With the help of specialized technology, they set out to transform the way bus tickets are sold online and adapt this sector to the new needs of digital travelers.

The Bridge of Communication Between Travelers and the Bus Sector

Reservamos.com is the first major digitalization effort in the bus sector. This platform emerged during a 3-day Hackathon and became the company’s first line of business, leading its founders to discover their mission of digitalizing ground transportation in Mexico.

In 2015, the company achieved its first milestone when Oscar Salazar, Co-Founder and CTO of UBER, decided to invest in Reservamos as an angel investor, along with other renowned professionals. Later, in mid-2016, Reservamos received its first investment round from Thayer Ventures, a leading venture capital firm primarily focused on investing in new travel technology startups with worldwide recognition.

Continuing this growth, in 2017, Reservamos was selected as a Startup Endeavor, and in 2018, it was recognized as one of the Top 25 Travel Startups by Skift, a specialized site in the international travel industry.

Today, Reservamos.com is the leading platform for the sale of ground transportation tickets in Mexico, offering travelers the most comprehensive and straightforward experience of purchasing tickets at the most convenient prices.

With over 85 transport lines, 1,000 available destinations, and 3,000 active routes, Reservamos.com provides the widest range of ground travel options, including air and connecting travel, as well as car rentals and hotel bookings in partnership with AVASA (Hertz, Thrifty, Firefly) and Booking.com, respectively. Thanks to over 1.5 million visits across all its versions (desktop, mobile, and app), Reservamos.com has positioned itself as the most relevant platform in the travel and ground travel segment for the middle class in Mexico, with a particular focus on the young traveling population.

The Technological Ally for Achieving Digital Success

Due to its success in the market and the acceptance of early travelers, in 2018, Reservamos expanded its offering to develop exclusive solutions focused on the bus sector, leading to the creation of a new business line called Reservamos SaaS, which has become the technological partner of bus companies in Latin America. The technological infrastructure of Reservamos SaaS focused on the B2B business, is designed to be the digital ecosystem for any bus company, offering solutions and tools that help businesses optimize their digital sales channels and revenue and operations management. Its goal is to support more bus companies in strengthening their digital presence, enhancing the purchasing experience for digital travelers, and driving innovation and growth in the sector.
