Things you need to know when using Bus237 services for your daily travel planner.

Can I get a refund?

I missed my departure what should I do?

Just like seats on a plane, all seats booked via Bus237 are sold on a reservation basis - so you must travel at your specified time and date. For journeys within Cameroon, customers need to be at their departure point at least 30 minutes before their journey is due to depart. No refunds or credits will be given if you miss the coach. But if your plans change more than 24 hours before you’re due to travel – you can amend your ticket with us online or by calling our services. Fees will apply for making these changes.

What does your ticket cost?

All our fares are updated directly from the bus agencies currently running on our platform. Fares will vary according to the bus agency booking date, day of travel and demand for seats - and they’re subject to change without notice. A booking fee is charged per credit or debit card transaction to cover administration charges. During peak booking times, prices may go up or down between searches - so bear that in mind when you're planning your trip. For any other information about fares we recommend you contact the bus agency directly.

Why can't I find tickets for my trip?

This may happen for a couple of reasons. If the journey can be selected from the departure/origin points but there are no available dates - it might be that the journey has sold out. If the departure/origin points don’t appear, it may be that we don’t currently offer a service on the route you’re looking for. We’re always looking at adding new places to our network though, so make sure you check back to see if any new places have been added to the Bus237 journey planner.
