About YoloBus

Founded in 2018, YoloBus is a tech‑driven, premium inter‑city mobility brand that now serves 1 million+ travellers across 400+ routes with a modern fleet of luxury and, increasingly, electric coaches. Known for affordability, comfort and punctuality, the subsidiary of EaseMyTrip continues to expand its network while pioneering sustainable transport solutions in India.

However, as the company expanded, managing day-to-day expenses across various routes and multiple team members became a complex and time-consuming task.

The Challenge

As routes multiplied, YoloBus’s cash‑heavy process began to show cracks.

Pain points:

Cash advances to drivers were impossible to track until receipts surfaced weeks later.

The CEO, recognized that something had to change. Traditional cash-based systems were no longer suitable as the company scaled, and a more efficient, digital solution was needed to streamline financial processes.

The Solution

CashBook UPI wallets

In search of a more scalable and efficient solution, the CEO of YoloBus decided to try CashBook UPI Wallets for managing operational expenses.

The journey began with the CEO himself registering on the CashBook platform. Initially, the company started by creating a few UPI wallets for essential staff members. This allowed them to get familiar with the system and assess how it would work for their business needs.

Wallets were activated in hours, letting the team test in the real world immediately.

As the company grew more comfortable with the system, YoloBus expanded the use of CashBook UPI wallets across additional routes and departments. More wallets were issued to supervisors and drivers, and the company transitioned gradually toward full digital expense management.
