App update to live-track bus capacity

First Bus announces app update to live-track bus capacity

This week First will be launching an update to their mobile app that will enable customers across the UK to live track not only the location of their next bus but also its available capacity, to help customers social distance on board their buses.

First Bus will be the first major bus operator to roll out live capacity tracking. This reduces uncertainty for customers and allows them to make informed decisions about their essential journeys. Going live this week, the app update will show customers a bus icon on a map depicting the live location and available capacity of each vehicle in the vicinity. This new functionality will provide customers with the information they need as the bus approaches.
