Compass Travel, the largest independent bus company in Sussex and Surrey, has teamed up with transport technology specialists UrbanThings to introduce an innovative bus app and upgrade their passenger website.
With an extensive network encompassing 101 routes and a fleet of 87 vehicles, Compass Travel is committed to enhancing passenger convenience through modern technology solutions. The new Compass app, developed by UrbanThings, will offer passengers real-time updates, mobile QR ticketing, and seamless journey planning all in one platform. Residents and visitors in Sussex and Surrey can look forward to advanced features such as dynamic maps displaying live bus locations, travel alerts, and convenient ticket purchase and downad options.
Simultaneously, Compass Travel’s website will undergo a comprehensive redesign to reflect the company’s branding and ensure a cohesive digital interface for users. This enhancement is set to provide a unified experience across both the app and website, offering customers seamless access to information and services.
The solution will be built on UrbanHub, the smart transport platform created by UrbanThings designed to help cities and operators streamline their operations and enhance the passenger experience.
This collaboration marks the beginning of a strong partnership between Compass Travel and UrbanThings, setting the stage for future enhancements that promise to further enrich the commuting experience across the region. Together, they aim to create smarter travel solutions for a sustainable future.
