Nottsbus On Demand vs Mobilityways

NOTTSBUS ON DEMAND: Introducing Nottsbus On Demand - a flexible, on-demand bus service brought to you by Nottinghamshire County Council. With Nottsbus On Demand you can choose the time you would like to travel by booking your journey through this easy-to-use app. You don’t need to check a timetable, simply book a time for the bus to pick you up from a designated point that is convenient for you, which you can select in the app. Nottsbus On Demand doesn’t have a fixed route, our buses can travel anywhere between designated points within the operating zones, where there is not already a scheduled bus service running. Our smart technology will match your journey with other customers travelling in the same direction so you can be picked up along the way. HOW TO BOOK A JOURNEY: Booking a journey with Nottsbus On Demand is easy: Once you have downloaded this app click ‘Get Started’ to register your details. When you’re ready to book a journey, simply open the app and select a pick-up point from the list provided. You can also choose your pick-up time and destination. Before your journey is confirmed you will be asked if you want to pay through the app or when you get on the bus. If you have a concessionary pass you can add this to your user profile in the app. You will be given an estimated time when the bus will arrive at your chosen pick-up point - you can even track the progress of your bus via the app. When it’s time, make your way to your chosen pick-up point and wait for one of our friendly drivers to arrive to take you to your destination. And, if you’re travelling further afield you can use Nottsbus On Demand to connect to other public transport. WHAT IF THERE ARE NO BUSES AVAILABLE? If all our buses are busy and you cannot book a journey, wait a few minutes and check again. Our app is run in real time, so as soon as the next bus is available it will show in the app. CANCELLING YOUR BOOKING IS EASY: If you no longer need to make a journey that you have booked, this can be cancelled in the app, freeing up a seat for someone else. ABOUT OUR BUSES: Like all our buses, Nottsbus On Demand is fully accessible, with low floors and ramp access for wheelchair users, pushchairs and people with mobility difficulties. You can enjoy your journey knowing you are helping the planet too, because these buses will only be travelling when they are needed. Nottsbus On Demand is sure to change the way you think about bus travel. We look forward to welcoming you on board very soon!

The Mobilityways app hosts: Liftshare – The carpooling network that enables members of the public to easily find sharers and discover personal CO2e savings. Liftshare For Work employer communities – For sustainable and affordable commuting with work colleagues. CommuteBoost - For logging multi-modal commutes, including lift-sharing and to reward employees for using sustainable commuting modes. Liftshare is the UK & Ireland’s largest public car sharing network, with almost 700,000 members. It’s a free-to-use journey matching platform for drivers and passengers taking both regular and one-off journeys. Liftshare provides a journey cost estimate to help sharers know how much to contribute. Liftshare members save £1034 a year, on average. They cut their fuel costs in half by sharing with just one other person. The Liftshare app displays your personal CO2e savings so you can see how much your sharing is helping the environment. Use the app to find and review journey matches, message other members and ask to share. There are also regular member rewards available for Liftshare public members from our select partners. Liftshare for Work utilises the Liftshare platform to enable sharing between colleagues and reduce an organisation’s commuting emissions. These employer-led and -branded Liftshare communities provide a closed/private car share scheme for employees (with public matches optional). The user will receive all the tried and tested features of the Liftshare app, and can see personal as well as community CO2e savings. The employer can monitor lift-sharing stats, measure site and company-wide CO2 emission reduction, plus manage members. With the addition of Liftshare parking permits, members can authenticate their journey in the app to receive a priority parking space at work on the day they car share. Ideal for organisations looking to reduce congestion and parking problems on-site, as well as reward sustainable commuting. CommuteJournal is a privacy-first tool that logs multi-modal legs of your commute and provides a carbon saving reporting. Modes that can be logged are: walking, running, cycling, driving, car sharing, bus and train. Employers providing the tool, gain collective data on viable transport routes and can identify gaps in provision to develop sustainable commuting options. Discover trends in employees’ travel habits, with real-time data for speedy analysis of new initiatives. Using CommuteJournal with the CommuteBoost rewards engine encourages participation in sustainable travel initiatives with rewards and incentives set against specific challenges. Commute Boost is a rewards engine where users can collect boosts for using sustainable travel modes. Employers can set targeted rewards that work for both the company and its staff – from additional annual leave to parking spaces, or even merchandise. Challenges can be set daily, weekly, monthly or ongoing. For example, Bike Week could be used to promote active travel and encourage physical wellbeing. Or those who carpool could receive preferential parking every day. Employees choose which challenges to join and can view colleagues who are taking part in the challenge. CommuteBoost enables employers to incentivise the specific sustainable commuting action and modal shift required, per organisation or site. Plus, directly track the success of new initiatives with daily data.
