Buscaro, a mass transit platform operating in Pakistan, has announced a new, $2 million funding round led by Daman Investments.
The company, which describes itself as "a seamless solution for the daily pick and drop", says revenue has grown from $2 million in 2023 to more than $6.3 million today.
It partners with companies, schools and other institutions to deliver safe, reliable daily commuting by bus for employees and students.
Its tech stack includes live tracking for passengers and parents, financial transparency for businesses, operational visibility for administrators, and safety-first systems that build trust.
It has 80 corporate partners across Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, and Rawalpindi and plans to move into smaller cities.
The firm says it now powers more than 900,000 monthly bookings and is projected to close 2025 at $8.6 million in annualised revenue.
This latest round - which also included investment from Cartography Capital, Epic Angels, Wahed Ventures and Accelerate Prosperity - brings Buscaro’s total funding to $3.5 million.
The company says: "Parents use Buscaro to send their children to school with peace of mind, aided by live ride tracking."
Female passengers "consistently rate the service safer than alternatives", it adds
"With our investment, we look forward to helping them accelerate growth, expand into new cities, and redefine urban mobility across the region," said Ahmed Khizer Khan, CEO, Daman Investments.
“Our vision is simple,” Buscaro founder Maha Shahzad concludes. “We want to make commuting safe, reliable, and affordable for every family and every company in Pakistan and beyond. What started in my living room is now a nationwide movement, and this funding will help us take it even further.”
