**I'm building a platform that solves a problem every festival-goer knows: getting there without a car 🚌**

Every year I see the same thing at festivals across Europe — thousands of people scrambling for transport, bus companies afraid to commit routes because they don't know if enough people will show up, and a massive mismatch between supply and demand.

So I'm building a demand-aggregation platform for festival bus transport.

Here's how it works:

  1. Festival-goers register interest for a specific route (e.g. Brussels → Tomorrowland) — **no upfront payment**

  2. Once enough people have signed up, a bus company gets matched and commits to the route

  3. Everyone gets notified, pays their ticket, and the bus runs

Bus companies only deploy when demand is proven. Festival-goers never pay unless their bus actually happens. No one owns buses — it's pure matchmaking.

Starting with Belgian festivals, then scaling to the rest of Europe. Thinking Tomorrowland, Pukkelpop, Rock Werchter as first targets — but the model works for any festival with a geographic spread of attendees.

**Curious what you think:**

- Would you use something like this?

- Any festivals / routes you'd want to see covered?

- Any obvious problems I'm not seeing?

Still building — happy to answer questions!
