Digital transportation passes for cross-border students
Students who cross the bridges between Mexico and the United States every school day need a ride they can count on. Tixster gives each student a digital pass that families pay online and drivers scan at every boarding.
Choose the pass periods you offer
Set a price for each period and each route. Families pick what works for them.
From enrollment to the bus door
The school sets up routes
Create routes, pickup points, pass periods and prices.
Families buy a pass
Parents register their student and pay online with a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
The pass arrives by email
Each student gets a unique QR pass that works on a phone, on paper or on a card.
Scan at every boarding
Drivers or monitors scan the pass. Valid, expired or wrong route is clear at a glance.
Less cash, fewer lists, more peace of mind
No more cash on the bus
Families pay online before the period starts. Drivers never handle money.
Live rider lists
Know which students boarded, on which route and at what time, from any device.
Renewal reminders
Families get an email before their pass expires so riders are never left behind.
One pass, many rides
A single QR works for every ride in the period and cannot be shared between students.
Clear reports
Ridership and revenue by route, ready for the school office or your accountant.
Student privacy first
Minimal data, access limited to the school and its staff, and no advertising use.
Designed around student data rules
Student information deserves extra care. Tixster is designed to support schools in meeting their obligations under FERPA and COPPA.
- We collect only what is needed to run the route: student name, grade, route and a parent contact
- Parents, not children, create the account and make the purchase
- The school controls who on its staff can see rider data
- Student data is never sold or used for advertising

Frequently asked questions
What kinds of passes can we sell?
Weekly, monthly, semester or full school year passes. You choose which periods to offer and the price of each one, per route if needed.
Is the pass for one ride or many?
A pass is valid for every ride during its period. It is scanned each time the student boards, so you always know who is on the vehicle.
What happens when a pass expires?
The scanner shows it as expired right away, and families can renew online in a couple of minutes.
Do students need a smartphone?
No. The QR pass can be shown on a parent's phone, printed on paper or kept on a laminated card.
Who sees student information?
Only the school or operator that runs the route and the staff they authorize. Tixster does not sell student data or use it for advertising.
How do families pay?
Online with a credit or debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Payments are processed by Stripe in US dollars.
