Overview
FirstBookings is a live road transport booking platform at firstbookins.com. Travellers search routes and see live departure boards with operators, departure times, vehicle types, available seats and fares. They pay securely through Paystack and receive a barcode e-ticket, which is verified at the terminal when boarding.
Problem: Road transport booking in Nigeria is mostly manual: travellers queue at terminals with no visibility of departure times, seat availability or fares in advance.
Solution: Built a booking platform with route search, live departure boards, online payment, and barcode e-tickets that terminal staff verify at boarding.
Impact: Live platform where travellers can book road trips in advance and board with a verified e-ticket.
- Route search across operators
- Live departure boards: times, vehicles, seats and fares
- Paystack checkout
- Barcode e-tickets verified at terminal boarding
Designed and built the full platform: route search, departure boards, seat and fare display, Paystack checkout, and the barcode e-ticket verification flow.
