Kirkby Lonsdale Coach Hire has partnered with UrbanThings to launch a passenger app for its local bus services.
The Lonsdale Buses app provides real-time bus updates and mobile ticketing for its public services in Cumbria and Lancashire.
UrbanThings creates bespoke, branded apps for operators based on the UrbanHub platform.
Damion Edwards, Operations Director of Kirkby Lonsdale Coach Hire, says: “This app is a milestone for us, offering passengers a smarter, simpler way to travel. We’re always looking for ways to enhance our services and this is a fantastic step forward.”
Kirkby Lonsdale thus joins a plethora of other operators and authorities to have used UrbanThings for apps and customer information platforms, including Lothian Buses, LibertyBus, Newport, Transport for Wales, Transport for London and Ipswich Buses.
Adam Maher, Sales Manager of UrbanThings, adds: “We’re excited to see how this app will improve the everyday travel experience for residents and travellers. It’s not just about convenience – it’s about supporting more sustainable, connected communities through smarter transport solutions.”
The app is now available for download for iOS and Android devices via the relevant stores.
