Morten Smalby the co-founder and CEO of GetByBus, who is originally from Denmark, fell in love with Dalmatia many years ago. At that time, he used to write a tourist blog in which he praised the beauty of the Croatian coast and provided useful advice to foreigners so that they could reach their destinations more easily.

Noticing that searching timetables and buying tickets for buses was quite complicated, Morten recognized a need in the market and that’s how GetByBus was created in 2014.

They are continuously developing various IT solutions to make traveling by intercity buses as hassle-free as possible by simplifying the search and sales of bus tickets
