New App Trial
From Monday 5 February the State Government is trialling a new app on the City Connector which is designed to make the public transport system more accessible.
The app alerts the bus driver about the passenger waiting to board the bus
at an upcoming bus stop
when approaching it.
The app then sends
notifications on the passenger's phone when the bus is approaching both the
pick-up
as well as destination stops.
The app is available to download at the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.
