TBN (The Bus Network) has launched TBNai, a suite of AI-powered tools tailored for transportation companies.
The suite was unveiled at the United Motorcoach Association’s (UMA) Sales Summit in early June.
“Introducing TBN’s latest tool during the UMA Sales and Marketing Summit was exciting,” remarked Ken Presley, Vice President, Legislative & Regulatory Affairs & Industry Relations/COO. “It dovetailed nicely into the sales and marketing theme. There was definitely a lot of oohs and ahhs.”
The FutureProof AI suite is available now at ai.tbndrives.com. In a move to increase access to the technology, TBN is offering a free account tier for companies looking to explore AI’s potential before committing. Paid tiers begin at $19 per month.
Unlike off-the-shelf AI tools, TBNai was designed and built for the group transportation market, eliminating technical hurdles and helping users immediately apply AI to business growth. The tools cover a wide range of functions, including:
- Tour Builder – Create profitable, market-ready tour itineraries.
- RFP Partner – Simplify and strengthen proposals.
- Contact Research Assistant – Personalize outreach with relevant public insights.
- Customer Cloning Tool – Identify and replicate ideal customers.
- Market Research Assistant – Build lead lists with coaching support.
- Review Response Assistant – Craft professional replies to online reviews.
- Social & Website Content Creators – Generate SEO-friendly digital marketing material.
- Data Visualization Assistant – Analyze and present business data insights.
“We are committed to being the leader in the space—not only with the software we provide, but in the ways motorcoach operators leverage new and exciting technology to run more effective, more productive, and more profitable companies,” said Christian Riddell, CEO of TBN.
Each tool is designed to save time and shift focus away from administrative busywork and toward relationship-building and sales conversion. That aligns with TBN’s larger mission: equipping operators with digital-first solutions that help them meet modern buyer expectations for speed, clarity, and personalization.
No software installation or AI expertise is required. Users log in, answer a few prompts, and receive actionable results in minutes.
“The future is here,” said Riddell. “AI is powerful, but only as powerful as the user’s ability to shape the output to be useful and contextual. That’s where TBNai stands apart—we’ve made that process intuitive for motorcoach operators.”
