Who operates the bus?
Fancy Oceans is the booking marketplace. The independent bus company named on your ticket operates the journey.
Can two people buy the same seat?
The booking engine places a temporary server-side seat hold to prevent two successful bookings for the same seat.
What happens if MTN payment stays pending?
Your ticket is not confirmed until MTN reports a successful payment. A temporary seat hold may expire if payment is not completed.
What payment method is available?
Fancy Oceans currently supports MTN Mobile Money as the customer payment method.
