YoloBus, an EaseMyTrip.com Company

Proof of Usefulness Score

Certified Problem Solver

YoloBus was a legitimate intercity bus aggregation startup in India, acquired by EaseMyTrip in 2021. While the project has verifiable past traction and a successful exit (acquisition), the submission itself is of very low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and ambiguous financial data ('70000000' likely refers to valuation in INR or is unrelated). The service currently appears fully integrated into the parent company or dormant as a standalone brand, reducing its standalone real-world utility score. The score reflects the historical validity of the business significantly dampened by the poor submission quality and current 'zombie' status.
