NEW Demand Led Response Bus Service

TING, Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority’s new on-demand bus service for rural communities across the western part of Huntingdonshire, goes live on Monday (25 October).

The new ‘Uber’ style bus service, operated by Stagecoach East, is a great way to get about in West Huntingdonshire without having to rely on a car. This sort of bus service is called Demand Responsive Transport.

ting isn’t fixed to a specific route or timetable. It provides passengers the option to book an on-demand, tailor made service in real time by using the ting trips app, or calling the local call centre, allowing people across all age groups to order a bus from even the most remote locations and travel anywhere within the service zone for just £2 each.

Clever technology uses algorithms to join up several people’s needs, combining them into one trip to make sure they all get to where they need to be. Users can book their seats up to seven days in advance or on the same day of their journey, just as you would a taxi in a town centre. The ting service runs between 7am-7pm Monday-Friday and 8am-4pm Saturday. It doesn’t however operate on Sundays or Bank Holiday Mondays.
