Building the future that we want to live in, where sustainable, shared transport is the first choice for people on the move, is critical to a planet on the brink of climate crisis.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"block-core-paragraph\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have to work together to encourage more than just a return to public transport, but a fundamental shift to the way people choose to travel &#8211; an outcome that mirrors both the National Bus Strategy (NBS) and UK technology company Passenger\u2019s mission.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"block-core-paragraph\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following a year of unprecedented digital transformation, the NBS is an opportunity to universally reform provisions and reclaim the roads. It is time to build back better, avoid a car-led recovery, and ensure that buses are seen as an attractive and practical alternative to private cars.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"block-core-paragraph\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As advocates for digital change to reduce barriers to public transport, Passenger works closely with operators, meeting their unique needs with a range of technical solutions.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"block-core-paragraph\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAccess to public transport is crucial to the economy. Passenger offers ways for operators to share up-to-the-minute information with customers at the touch of a phone, helping empower the public to get back on buses\u201d explains Passenger CTO Dave Hulbert.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"block-core-paragraph\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enhanced Partnerships with Local Transport Authorities (LTA\u2019s) will be the first step for many operators, and in 2020, Passenger and Hertfordshire County Council launched the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverpassenger.com\/2020\/03\/10\/hertfordshire-county-council-awards-intalink-website\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Intalink website<\/a>. Combining 25 operators, bus travel information including county-wide journey planning and real-time information is easily accessible.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"block-core-paragraph\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re guided by our knowledge of what users want, plus operator\u2019s insight into users&#8217; needs. This has led to products that are rated exceptionally highly and address those needs, such as bus capacity reporting, encouraging active travel and addressing first and last-mile problems by joining buses up with other travel modes\u201d explains Passenger CEO Tom Quay.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"block-core-paragraph alignleft\">\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Aware of the need to harmonise aspects of operations that can differ throughout the bus industry, many of the objectives set out in the NBS can be achieved using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverpassenger.com\/passenger-premium\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Passenger Premium<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/mytrip.discoverpassenger.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">myTrip products<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"block-core-quote\">\r\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\r\n<p>\u201cWe want passengers to be able to plan, buy and show tickets on their smartphone for any journey, including through-trips on buses and other transport modes\u201d<\/p>\r\n<cite>National Bus Strategy<\/cite><\/blockquote>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"block-core-paragraph\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe already integrate seamless local ticketing between operators, multi-operator ticketing and can support introductory promotional offers to attract new users through our Discounts function\u201d.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"block-core-paragraph\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seeing our environment improve following the reduction of cars on the roads during lockdowns, myTrip &#8211; the UK\u2019s first multi-operator ticketing app &#8211; was launched in September 2020 to support operators otherwise unable to take the first step on their digital journey. myTrip was designed to give users the confidence to continue using buses and brought affordable live bus tracking and mobile ticketing to operators.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"block-core-paragraph\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Celebrated in the NBS were operators who modernise the passenger experience, which is exactly what Passenger will continue to do as the industry strides forward.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"block-core-quote\">\r\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\r\n<p>\u201cApps and websites that include times, accessibility information, fares and live running\u201d<\/p>\r\n<cite>National Bus Strategy<\/cite><\/blockquote>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"block-core-paragraph\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m so excited to see a bit of oomph and ambition in the strategy. The knowledge and insights of operators will be a powerful tool in delivering its outcomes and Passenger will continue to deliver industry-leading technology solutions and advocating for positive industry change\u201d Tom Quay explains.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"block-core-paragraph\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By changing and reforming the systems we are restrained by, operators and suppliers can work together to craft a future with safer streets, cleaner air, better societal equality and smarter allocation of shared resources.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"block-core-paragraph\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now is the time to reflect on the learnings that have been made over the past year, remove disparity and strengthen bus operations. There is a huge amount of work ahead to stop a car-led post-pandemic return to travel, but when operators and suppliers work together, the strength of that collective knowledge is a force to be reckoned with.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"block-core-paragraph\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want to know more about Passenger Premium?
