New Bus Boost- Information at Your Fingertips!

The Lib Dems are making bus services easier and more convenient to use, by putting live information about local services at your fingertips. 'Real time information' about how long it will be before your bus arrives at your stop can be checked via the Council's website at home, or as you wait at the stop, using any smartphone or tablet. Mayor Dave has also rolled out more live information boards at bus stops which use the same technology to give bus users accurate information about how far away their bus is.

Kingsbrook Cllr Anita Gerard said: "Through extra evening and sunday services and the protection of a strong rural network, we are committed to making bus use in the Borough more attractive and convenient. Putting live information in the hands of local bus users through their computers, phones and at bus stops is a key part of this effort. At a time when many other local authorities are cutting bus services in their communities we have been protecting them and improving them, and I hope that these latest innovations encourage even more people to use local buses."
