Token-based pricing is broken for agentic coding
Every major API provider — OpenRouter, OpenCode Go, Groq, Claude, GPT, Z.ai — charges per token. That model works for chat. It breaks down completely when you’re running agentic coding sessions.
Here’s why:
Qwen models generate a lot of output.
Qwen 27b produces significantly more output tokens than competitors for the same task. One benchmark showed Qwen 3.5-27B burning 98M output tokens where DeepSeek V3.2 finished the same job with 61M. Token-based billing punishes Qwen users especially hard.
Rate limits throttle your agents.
OpenRouter caps you at 600 RPM / 1M TPM. Agentic coding regularly exceeds that. Your agents wait. Your flow breaks. Your bill still climbs.
You never know what it costs.
A “quick 8-hour coding session” can cost $6 or $74 depending on how many tokens your agent generates. There’s no way to budget. No way to predict. No flat rate.
Big context means big bills.
Want 256K context? That’s input tokens on every request. Token pricing means you pay for the same context window over and over again.
We charge for time. Not tokens.
AI Bus Trip runs on a simple model: you buy a ticket for 8 hours. During those 8 hours, you use the GPU as much as you want. No token meter running. No rate limits throttling your agents. No surprise bills.
The bus metaphor makes it concrete:
15 passengers share the GPUs. That’s enough capacity for normal agentic coding, chat, and RAG workloads. We show booking numbers transparently — when you see 12 people onboard, you know the performance is real.

My Keys To Creating A Powerful Incitin Incident
Let’s make AI API usage affordable. Let’s go on an AI Bus Trip together.
What 8 hours of agentic coding really costs
We compared real-world 8-hour agentic coding sessions on OpenRouter (Qwen3.6-27B at 0.285/2.40 per million tokens + 5.5% fee) vs. the AI Bus Trip flat rate.

OpenRouter costs = (input × $0.285 + output × $2.40) + 5.5% credit fee
Break-even: ~3M output tokens per day
That’s roughly 625K tokens/hour. If you’re doing serious agentic coding with Aider, Hermes, or OpenCode, you’ll hit that in 1-2 hours.
Below 3M output tokens/day → use OpenRouter.
Above 3M output tokens/day → take an AI Bus Trip.
Boarding in three steps
Step 1: Buy a ticket
Choose a lane (EU or US), pick a date, pay €/$ 9 in Bitcoin via BTCPay. You get a boarding code by email. No account, no KYC, no credit card.
Step 2: Download the terminal
Download the Bus Terminal — a lightweight Mac client that connects you to the GPU server via Tailscale VPN. No Docker, no config, no setup headaches.
Step 3: Board and ride
At departure time, open the terminal, enter your code, and board. Your seat is ready athttp://localhost:1234— OpenAI-compatible, works with OpenCode.

for €/$ 9 Mac app via Tailscale @ http://localhost:1234 DoneWhat’s Included In Your Ticket
8 hours of GPU time
Flat rate. No token meter. No surprise bills. Use it as much or as little as you want during your ride.
OpenAI-compatible endpoint
http://localhost:1234 on your machine. Tested with OpenCode.
Qwen 27b with 256K context
Full context window on every request. No input token charges. No context compression hacks.
No rate limits
Unlimited RPM, unlimited TPM. We keep the seats limited per GPUs, so your agent runs at full speed.
Bitcoin payments
No KYC. No bank. No Stripe. No credit card. Censorship-resistant payments. Your transaction, your business.
Privacy by design
Only email + boarding code. No account at Big Tech. No usage logs. Tailscale VPN encryption. What happens on the bus stays on the bus.
Transparent capacity
15 seats per bus. We show booking numbers. When 12 people are onboard, you know the performance is real — not a marketing claim.
Two lanes, five days
EU Lane: 08:00–16:00 CET, Mon–Fri. US Lane: 16:00–24:00 CET, Mon–Fri. Pick your timezone, board and ride.
Built for people who don’t fit the token model
For developers who hit rate limits
You’re running agentic coding sessions. Your agents spawn loops. You blow past 600 RPM in an hour. OpenRouter throttles you. The AI Bus doesn’t; it runs on defined hardware for a limited amount of users.
For Bitcoiners who want to pay in BTC
You don’t want to use Stripe, PayPal, or a credit card. You want censorship-resistant payments. BTCPay, Bitcoin, done.
For AI enthusiasts who want real access
You want Qwen 27B with full 256K context. You want to use it hard for 8 hours. You don’t want to worry about token costs. Flat rate, full access.
For privacy-conscious Coders
You don’t want an account at OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic. You don’t want KYC. You don’t want usage logs. You don’t want your conversations to be trained on. Just an email and a boarding code.
THE FIRST TIME-BASED AI API
Flat-rate compute. Bitcoin only.
We believe Open Source AI Compute should be Simpler
No token meters. No rate limits. No KYC. No surprise bills. Just a ticket, a seat, and 8 hours to build.
Questions before boarding?
8 hours of OpenAI-compatible AI compute. No tokens. No rate limits. No KYC. Just $9 flat — paid in Bitcoin.
