🚌 For bus companies and owners’ associations

The whole bus operation — from the day’s sheet to each owner’s share

Every bus on one page, four kinds of income together, what is still tied up at the counters, and what each owner is owed — one module.

An optional module — turn it on in the app under Settings → Modules.

GP, association dues, police — the small costs are all accounted for

01 · Daily sheet

Every bus of the day on one page

The backbone of the module — one bus, one day, one row. Fill in the up and down trips, driver and helper, income and road costs, and save it all at once. Leave a row empty for a bus that did not run and it is quietly left out.

  • Each bus’s income, costs and net appear underneath as you type
  • Enter the same bus twice by mistake and the income does not double — the existing row updates
  • The dashboard reminds you which buses have no sheet yet today

02 · Income

However the money comes in, it lands in the same place

In Bangladesh one company often runs several arrangements side by side. So you are not forced to pick a single "mode" — turn on as many as you need, together.

🤝

Contract / daily deposit

The driver hands a fixed sum to the office each day and keeps the rest. The most common arrangement in small fleets.

🎫

Waybill / checker

A checker counts passengers at a checkpoint and issues a slip. The slips add up to the day’s income.

🏪

Ticket counter

Tickets are sold at a booth and the money reaches the office later — the gap is what the counter owes.

🚌

Reserve / parcel

Reserve hire, parcels or roof loads — a separate line for the extra income.

03 · Costs

The road costs go in with the day

A bus’s costs happen on the road, so rather than sending you to a separate "expenses" page they have their own fields on the day’s sheet. The day’s net (income − costs) settles immediately, and the owner distribution is worked out from it.

Fuel / gas 🚧GP / line costs 🧾Association and linesman dues 🚔Police / cases 🛣️Tolls 👷Driver and helper wages

Switch off the cost heads you do not use and the sheet gets that much lighter to fill in.

04 · Ticket counters

Always know how much is tied up at the booth

Tickets are sold at the counter today and the money arrives two days later. That gap is where most of the confusion comes from. Each counter’s sales and collections are tracked separately, and the difference is its running balance.

  • Take money in and the balance drops at once — a commission withheld is recorded separately too
  • You cannot record more collected than is owed, so the accounts cannot go backwards
  • The counter profile shows both the collection history and how much each bus sold through it

05 · Owner distribution

Who gets what, without the argument

When buses with several owners run under one banner, the day’s takings have to be split. Look at the draft before finalising — it shows who gets what, and how the figure was arrived at. You can switch methods and compare; nothing is saved until you finalise.

By tripsAssociation pooling — the day’s total takings ÷ total trips, then each owner gets their trip count’s worth.
Each bus keeps its own netWhatever a bus earned, less its own costs, goes to its owner.
Equal sharesSplit equally between the owners.
Fixed percentagesBy percentages agreed in advance — 40% to one, 60% to another, say.

You can take the company’s commission off the top before splitting, and whether costs are deducted first is up to you.

06 · The owner’s running account

Credits, withdrawals, and what is owed now

Every owner has their own running account. Distribution credits it, they withdraw when they come in — and what is owed is visible at any moment. There is a switch to stop anyone withdrawing more than they are owed.

  • The owner’s profile shows their buses, lifetime income and costs, and every transaction
  • Print the distribution slip or send it on WhatsApp — with a space to sign
  • Once someone has withdrawn, that distribution cannot be reversed, so the books cannot drift

Common questions

Questions and answers

Some of our buses run on contract and some on waybill — can we do both?

Yes. Each of the four income methods has its own switch, and you can have as many on at once as you need. One bus on contract and another on waybill, on the same day’s sheet — no problem.

How long does it take to enter every bus each day?

Every bus of the day is on one page — fill in the trips and the amounts row by row and save once. Ten buses usually takes two or three minutes. Leave the row empty for a bus that did not run.

Can I see how much is tied up at a counter?

Yes. Each counter’s sales and collections accumulate separately, and the difference is its running balance. Take money in from the counter and the balance drops at once; a commission withheld can be recorded too.

Buses owned by other people run under our banner — can we split their money?

Yes — this is the biggest part of the module. It splits four ways (by trips, by net, equally, or by fixed percentages), and you can take the company’s commission off the top first. Look at the draft before finalising and it shows who gets what.

Can I show an owner the calculation on paper?

The distribution slip can be printed or shared — trips, income, costs and the final amount due are all on it. The day’s trip sheet prints the same way for the office file.

If an owner withdraws money, do the books stay right?

Each owner has a running account — distribution credits it, they withdraw when they come in, and the balance is visible. There is also a switch to stop anyone withdrawing more than they are owed.

Will these figures reconcile with the main app’s profit and loss?

Yes. All bus income and costs post to the general ledger by themselves, so the monthly reports and balances include the buses — there is nothing extra to do.

Are members’ unpaid association dues tracked?

Yes. What each member or owner has paid and what is still owed is shown separately, and receipts can be printed or sent by SMS.

Can the fund’s income and spending be shown to members transparently?

Yes. Every item of fund income and spending is recorded by category, and the monthly report shows clearly where the money went — a one-page file you can take to a meeting.

Can several buses and routes be kept separately?

Yes. Add as many buses and routes as you like; each bus keeps its own income and costs, and the by-route and by-bus reports bring them back together.

How do I turn the module on?

In the app, go to More → Settings → Modules and switch on "Bus operator". It is optional — people without buses never see it on their screen.
