Fernanda Gontijo, Sales Manager at Gontijo, comments: "In line with the growing demand for online bookings and aiming to expand our digital presence, we have entered into a strategic partnership with CheckMyBus to attract new customers who seek to compare ticket prices and services before making their purchases, with total confidence."
With this partnership, CheckMyBus will integrate Gontijo's over 350 destinations directly into its metasearch engine across 21 domains worldwide.

Sector Growth and Encouragement of Sustainable Transportation
The travel and tourism sector predicts that land mobility, especially buses, will continue to grow due to strong investment from companies, associations, and the government in the coming years. Recently, the Brazilian Association of Passenger Land Transport Companies - ABRATI announced investments of approximately R$ 3.6 billion by member companies, solely in fleet renewal in 2024.

Initiatives such as fleet renewal, modernization of bus stations, improvements in road infrastructure, and easy online access to tickets and services will make bus travel even more attractive in terms of cost-effectiveness.
This collaboration between CheckMyBus and Gontijo offers a solid response to the increasing number of online users who prefer to conduct their own research and make purchasing decisions independently.
In line with the trend towards sustainable mobility, the partnership makes bus ticket content more visible and accessible, promoting the shift to a shared and environmentally responsible transportation model.
