Pulhams Coaches has launched a new app for its bus services in collaboration with supplier Passenger. The work sits alongside an overhauled website for the Bourton-on-the-Water operator.
The app will allow bus customers to plan journeys, check real-time updates and buy passes and tickets in advance or on the day of travel. Some new fare products are available via the app, which uses QR codes.
In addition to information on Pulhams’ own bus services, the app will give details of those provided by multiple other operators, including Stagecoach. Such an approach will “provide a joined-up view of the area’s bus services for the first time,” the Go-Ahead subsidiary says.
Also part of the app is a ‘things to do in the Cotswolds’ function via an events and attractions section. That works alongside the travel planning tool, which additionally includes details of the features that are available aboard buses.
Speaking about the enhanced app and website, Pulhams Coaches Area Director Alex Chutter says: “We are committed to making coach and bus travel as accessible and convenient as possible for customers, and out latest investment in digital technology takes our services to the next level.
“It provides customers with access to live travel information, travel planning tools, more ticketing options, and convenient ways to pay. We have launched various new services recently, and the app and website will help customers to research all the coach and bus travel options available to them.”
