Bus passengers in Cornwall can plan, track and pay for discounted passes thanks to a handy new app from Passenger.
The new Transport for Cornwall app brings together timetables and information about all bus services in the county in one place for the first time. Users can also buy and store their day, weekly, or town passes on the app, as well as give feedback on their bus journey.
People in Falmouth, Newquay, Penryn, Penzance, Saltash or Truro can also find the nearest of Beryl’s 300 e-bikes.
Connor Donnithorne, Cornwall Council cabinet portfolio holder for transport, comments, “Residents have told us that they want to be able to easily find information about Cornwall’s bus network and the options available. This app provides that information at your fingertips and we will continue to develop it to cater for the needs of passengers.
“Ultimately, we want to make it as easy as possible for residents to travel by public transport in Cornwall. The Transport for Cornwall partnership brings together all transport operators in Cornwall and reflects our commitment to improving services.”
The app incorporates all of Cornwall’s bus operating companies in a single app experience. Go Cornwall Bus, First Kernow, Saltash Red Bus, Travel Cornwall, Hopleys Coaches and OTS are brought together under the unifying brand of Transport for Cornwall. Alongside the simplification of fares, powered by the central government-backed bus fare pilot, over the last few years, is driving significant bus patronage growth in Cornwall.
