Keep your journey on track with new Travel South Yorkshire app features

South Yorkshire’s Mayor Oliver Coppard is inviting everyone to get their journeys on track as they travel across the region with the upgraded Travel South Yorkshire app.
 
Customers can already purchase tickets on the app, but the new features include a journey planner and live departures tool, aiming to improve connectivity and the public transport user experience as they plan how to get to where they want to go.

The upgraded journey planner is available by downloading the Travel South Yorkshire app from the Apple and Google Play stores and it features a host of new and improved services that will make planning for short or long-distance journeys easier. The new features include:
 
  • Easy-to-follow journey planner with interactive current location and route maps
  • Live route updates
  • Real time departure and arrival information
  • Track your bus, tram and train feature
  • Setting mode preference when planning a journey; tram, train or bus options
  • Highlighted walking and cycling options in all journey plans
South Yorkshire’s Mayor, Oliver Coppard, said: “I know how important up to the minute information is for everyone who uses public transport in South Yorkshire. I know that because – of course – I use public transport in South Yorkshire, and because it was a consistent theme in the 31 public meetings I held to talk about buses last year.
“That’s why we’re making improvements to the Travel South Yorkshire app, giving everyone up to the minute, live information about journey times. I’ve said from day one we need fundamental reform of our public transport network, that’s why we’ve taken the Supertram back into public control, and we’re pushing forward at pace with the process of deciding whether we can do the same with our buses.
“But we also need to make steady and incremental improvements to the services we all rely on. This is just one more step on that journey.”
 
Phase three will see additional features offered in the coming months, including a new load to card feature, meaning users can load their ticket from the app directly to their travelcard.
