TFI Anseo is an app which lets you book your TFI Local Link bus service for now or later. With just a few taps, you can book a journey, and our app will pair you with a TFI Anseo enabled bus service close to you. Unlike bus services that operate to a fixed schedule, TFI Anseo enabled bus services have the flexibility to serve you at your convenience. HOW IT WORKS: - Discover a TFI Anseo enabled TFI Local Link bus service in your area. - Book a journey by setting your pickup and drop off locations and indicate the number of people traveling and pay the fare (if applicable). - You will be given an estimated time when the bus will arrive upon booking your trip and the location where you should meet your driver. - The estimated arrival time of the driver will be automatically updated within the app as your bus makes its way to meet you. - When your driver arrives, please promptly board the vehicle at your pickup point. - Our algorithm matches people heading in the same direction to maximise the efficiency of the shared bus service. RELIABLE: You can track your bus as the driver is on their way to you and while you’re on the vehicle too. You can also share your travel status in real-time from the app. Questions?
