As we step into the new year, the entire redBus Vietnam team extends our warmest wishes to our bus operator partners, your crews, and your families. Chúc Mừng Năm Mới! May 2026 bring you prosperous routes, full buses, and the continued success you’ve worked so hard to achieve.
A Year Built on Partnership
2025 was a transformative year for redBus Vietnam’s bus travel ecosystem, and none of it would have been possible without the trust and collaboration of over 200 operator partners who chose to grow with us. Together, we achieved approximately 250% year-over-year growth—a milestone that reflects not just redBus’s expansion, but the collective strength of our network.
The data tells a compelling story about digital integration. Operators who connected via direct API integration saw their bookings surge by over 400%, demonstrating how real-time connectivity drives demand. While partners using alternative integration methods also experienced healthy growth, these numbers confirm a clear trend: the deeper our technological integration, the faster we grow together.
Introducing Bitla by redBus: Your GDS, Your Control
Today, we are excited to announce the next evolution of our partnership. redBus will be launching Bitla, our proprietary Global Distribution System (GDS) designed specifically for bus operators in Vietnam. The launch is slated for April 2026.
Bitla isn’t just another software platform—it’s a commitment to operator independence. In a market where distribution control is everything, Bitla empowers you to:
* Digitize Operations: Move from manual inventory management to a seamless, cloud-based system that tracks bookings, seat availability, and revenue in real-time.
* Omnichannel Freedom: Share your inventory with redBus, your own website, travel agents, or any third-party sales channel of your choice—without fragmentation or double-booking risks.
* Own Your Distribution: Unlike some GDS platforms that lock you into specific networks, Bitla puts you in the driver’s seat. You decide where your inventory goes.
See Bitla in Action
We understand that switching to a new GDS is a significant decision. That’s why we’re offering personalised demonstrations to help you understand how Bitla fits your specific operational needs.

Our team will walk you through the platform and discuss migration timelines that work for you.

Looking Ahead
The 250% growth we celebrated last year is just the beginning. With Bitla, we’re not just selling tickets—we’re building the digital infrastructure that will define the next decade of Vietnam’s bus industry.
Once again, thank you for being integral to our shared success. Here’s to another year of growth, innovation, and partnership.
Warm regards,
Kaarthik SR
Country Manager – Vietnam
