We really impressed with the robustness and quality of the Real-Time Passenger Information provided via the iPhone App:

“I tried to find holes in the system; I’ve used technology before in several different guises and if often let me down…. But TravelManager proved faultless as I nearly flattened the battery on the phone trying to see if us bus users could actually depend on this technology…” – Phil Tonks

He goes on to say that with this technology takes away the unpredictability of a bus service and one of greatess arguments for not using a bus.

**This is something we find time and time again with our customers once the passengers are informed they can make decisions that reduce their waiting time at stops and this encourages an uptake in usage of bus services.

John O'Sullivan - Dublin Coach founder

“WHILE WE wait for Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann to introduce “real-time” passenger information, private operator John O’Sullivan (above) has motored ahead and fitted the technology to his Dublin Coach buses, which operate between Portlaoise and Dublin airport 16 times a day.

Founded in early 2008, Dublin Coach has installed GPS tracking systems that will allow passengers to monitor bus arrival times or flight information via the web or an iPhone. It’s a welcome (if long overdue) innovation….”

We’re working with some lead customers in the UK and US to launch additional services from December in early 2010 but if you‘re an operator in the West Midlands we’d like to talk to you about rolling a FREE iPhone Application for your company in partnership with your Local Authority.
