Transdev Go

[SF07]

Transdev are merging the various apps they have got (Lancashire Bus, Yorkshire Bus, 36, Witch Way, CityZap) into one new app called Transdev Go, which will include all the m-tickets in Lancashire and Yorkshire plus live times. The old apps will go out of use at the end of October with the new one launching around the same time.

From Transdev:

PLAN. BUY. GO. TRANSDEV GO IS NEARLY HERE
18-10-2017

It's almost time! Transdev Go is coming to a bus stop near you very soon. Whether you're a wandering wireless whizz-kid or a travelling technophobe, our shiny new mobile app has got just the ticket for you.

Plan. Buy. Go.
Plan your journey, quickly and easily buy tickets, without ever leaving the app

Move with the times
Full timetables for all of our routes, right inside the app

Transdev Go replaces all of our old mobile apps with one simple, super-powerful piece of software in your pocket. Once Transdev Go launches, you'll very quickly find that you won't need our Lancashire Bus, Yorkshire Bus, 36, Witchway or Cityzap apps, so these will be taken offline over the coming weeks.

What will happen to the Lancashire Bus and Yorkshire Bus mobile apps?
Our old mobile apps will be taken offline on Tuesday 31 October. You'll have a few days afterwards within which to use your ticket, but after that, these apps will no longer function.

What if I have tickets in the old apps?
If you're using our old Lancashire Bus or Yorkshire Bus M-Ticket apps, your tickets will automatically be transferred over to Transdev Go! Simply download Transdev Go, sign up for an account inside the app using the same email address as you did with our old apps, and your tickets will be waiting for you.

If you've bought a ticket on the old app and don't download Transdev Go, you'll have a maximum of 5 days to use your ticket (or 15 app opens, whichever comes first).

Don't worry, all of your tickets will be ready and waiting for you in the Transdev Go app.

What type of tickets can I buy with Transdev Go?
You'll be able to buy all of the tickets you bought with our old apps. We'll be adding even more types of ticket in the future, so make sure you download Transdev Go and watch this space!

Transdev Go will be available on the App Store and Google Play very shortly. We'll post the links here when it's available.

The current apps function in terms of tickets bought / being used without needing a data or wifi connection. Hope that functionality remains although the rest of new app would presumably be heavily dependent on data/wifi connectivity. Off topic but I though new web sites were supposed to be coming but that is some time back now.

Transdev Go is live now - apparently unlike the old app day tickets cannot be used for a full 24 hours so have the same validity as bought on bus. They never advertised this feature of the old app so it was good while it lasted but not something to complain about. Live times are found by clicking on the stop, somewhat confusing where a number of stops are next to each other (Bus Stations). Tickets are found by choosing which main town but services are all lumped together regardless of where you are.

Downloaded it last night. Looks pretty good. Like where if you click on a stop, it can show you the destinations it goes to on a map. Need to see how well the live times works on the app. Timetables are a good feature although, I'm not sure if I like having all Transdev services listed together, as I'm not sure someone in York would be too interested in services in Burnley. At least you can filter services by searching for places or service numbers.

Shall have to get the m-tickets a go at some point (probably on the X43 or when CityZap Manchester-Leeds launches)

[SCH117X]

Playing with it you can get live times by clicking on the stop listed on the timetables, bit restrictive in choice but it does mean its simpler to select the right stop at bus stations while the picking from the map allows non timetable listed stops to be selected. You can then add them as favourite stops so they appear in a separate list from the menu. Might have been wrong about the day ticket now being limited as looking at the source for that comment the complainer was using an evening ticket.

I like the tickets bit. The £9.50 daytripper is described as being valid as far east as York.

Does anyone know if it will be valid on the new 42,given that Selby Town and Drax are both marginally further east than York centre? Also, I'm guessing 42 has some subsidy on which could possibly mean they may not accept it.

‘As far East as York’, meaning FERA on the A64.

Thanks Arriva Wakefield... FERA?
I was just thinking perhaps on rare occasion doing Manchester - Selby (or reverse) via 2xZAP and 42. Most of the time I have Arriva Yorkshire M-ticket so tend to get train or 184 to Manchester from Dews/Hudds.

Have used Daytripper to do Transdev Manchester to Leeds (or reverse) via various combinations of Burnley/Skipton/Keighley services on a few occasions during in summertime, when time no object and fancied a long haul of lovely pennine scenery.

FERA is this week's name for the DEFRA science labs just off the A64 at Sand Hutton.
The Daytripper is described as being valid on all Transdev services except Coastliner east of York (FERA). That means that it would be valid on all Transdev York branded services.

The 42 is, I believe, being operated under contract to NYCC, but that shouldn't affect the validity of a Transdev network ticket – there are any number of services operated by Transdev and other operators that receive council funding but still accept the operator's network tickets.

Discovered you can change the timetables to show all stops and so select a favourite stop that way. For stop reason favourites started coming with an error message so I tried deleting the app and reinstalled it to hopefully solve that problem, not having any live tickets, but still get the error message

[SCH117X]

Reading comments on Google Play Transdev have confirmed tickets now have the same validity as those bought on the bus and day tickets are timed to expire at 4am regardless of when activated.

[SCH117X]

Slightly miffed that unlike the old app tickets have to be activated when you have an internet connection.
