New app will let you track how many seats are available on Glasgow buses

A new app has been created to let bus passengers know how many seats are available on buses to help with social distancing.

First Bus is rolling out an update of its mobile app to allow passengers to track the live location of their next bus and its available capacity.

The move is designed to reduce uncertainty for customers using First Bus and to help them make informed decisions about their essential travel.

The app update will show a bus icon on a map depicting the live location and available capacity of each vehicle in the area.

To further support social distancing, seats on each bus are clearly marked indicating where customers should sit.

Andrew Jarvis, Managing Director of First Glasgow, said “We are really proud to have been able to fast-track this technology to ensure safe, informed travel during these difficult times.

"Our buses provide an essential service for our customers and we are doing all we can to support them.”
