Sussex and Surrey independent operator, Compass Travel, has launched its new mobile bus app.

Developed in partnership with UrbanThings, a London-based transport technology company, the new app offers passengers real-time bus tracking, mobile QR ticketing and seamless journey planning within a single platform. With 101 routes and a fleet of 87 vehicles, the app is set to revolutionise the way passengers navigate their journeys in Sussex and Surrey.

By providing real-time tracking and easy ticketing options, we aim to make every journey more convenient and enjoyable.”

In addition to the app launch, Compass Travel’s passenger website is currently undergoing a complete redesign to ensure a cohesive and intuitive digital experience.
