Sabre Debuts New Red App with Bus Content in South America

By James Shillinglaw

Sabre Travel Network, a global technology company serving travel suppliers and agencies, has introduced VoyenBus Red App which equips travel agencies with automated real-time access to all schedules, fares and seat information on buses serving destinations throughout Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Peru, Paraguay and Bolivia.

The seats and schedule information integrate with every travel booking managed through the Sabre software, and also allows credit card payments. Each bus booking combines with air and hotel, as well the Sabre Virtually There trip alerts service for mobile devices. Companies with managed travel programs can benefit from this alternate transportation option for their cost control.

The new launched content from more than 60 companies based in Argentina is available for all Sabre-connected agents provided through the VoyenBus.com online platform for ticket sales. VoyenBus is a local developer company to create this new app that is now live on the Sabre Red App Center. There are now more than 85 different Sabre Red Apps and nearly 15,000 downloads generated from more than 400 travel agencies in 54 countries.

The VoyenBus Red App, available in multiple languages including English, Spanish and Portuguese, and the Sabre Red Workspace combine in a total travel solution that enhances the traveler experience through travel agencies and corporations. More destinations in Latin American countries will be added in phases this year.

The VoyenBus Red App works as an aggregator for schedules and fare information published on the web by bus companies from Argentina traveling across the region. Travel agents will be able to manage bookings one-way or round-trip, segments to be displayed in a single itinerary and profile (PNR) per traveler, as well as confirmed through an e-Ticket issued to the customer.
