The project 'redBus Latam' is the verified Latin American division of redBus, the world's largest online bus ticketing platform (a MakeMyTrip subsidiary). The submission was authenticated via a corporate email address (@redbus.pe), confirming legitimacy despite the extremely low-effort text responses. External verification confirms significant scale: ~2.12M monthly visits to redbus.pe alone, ranking #2 in the Travel/Tourism category in Peru, with verifiable revenue in the millions (part of the parent company's ~$95M annual revenue). The project demonstrates high real-world utility and massive traction, but the PoU score is penalized by the lack of detail in the submission text (lazy responses), resulting in lower Quality Factors for innovation and reach descriptions.
