Centro launches public transport apps
New apps have been launched to help passengers plan their journeys, get live updates and to report anti-social behaviour.
The NetNav app allows passengers to plan bus, train and tram journeys via their phone, while the Network West Midlands app offers real time information and locates the nearest transport stops and stations.
Both apps are available for download to Android or iPhone and provide updates on service delays and incidents. The Safer Travel Partnership has also launched the See Something, Say Something app to report anti-social behaviour on public transport.
Centro vice chair, Cllr Kath Hartley, said: “The rise of technology means that more than ever we need to make sure the services we provide meet the demands of modern passengers.
“We’ve been working hard to ensure that we keep looking for ways to make it even easier for people to take public transport and the widespread use of real time information is just one example of this.
“Having up to the minute updates on services and digital help in planning your journeys is really important these days and it is great that people now have this kind of information at their fingertips.
“We will continue to listen to feedback and explore the latest technological opportunities to help us find ways to make transport even easier for our passengers in the future.”
