The Routing Company (TRC) celebrated the launch of the East Sussex County Council’s (ESCC) “flexibus” services powered by TRC’s Pingo platform and funded by the Department of Transport (DfT).
ESCC is the local authority serving the non-metropolitan and southern coastal county of East Sussex in the UK.
The new flexibus services will serve around 50,000 households in East Sussex that currently have either no or very low public transport provision.
The service, which deploys in ten on-demand transport zones, delivers on a 15-vehicle contract announced by TRC in April 2023. The contract is supported by the DfT’s Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) funding and includes a two-year base agreement with an optional one-year extension, for a total of up to three years of provision.
