ShuttleID, the e-ticketing platform for school transport, has landed its first contract after successfully completing a trial early with Tetley’s Coaches.
The trial was marked a success after managing to eliminate ticket fraud on school bus travel one week following installation, paving the way to being utilised on eight services across two schools when tickets go on sale in July 2019.
Tetley’s Coaches’ managing director, Ian Tetley, commented: “We’re delighted to have been involved in this project from conception. The team at ShuttleID have listened to our concerns and developed a cost-effective product which should appeal to operators of school services.”
Chris Bell, director at ShuttleID, is excited for the future of the platform. “We’ve developed a ticketing platform that’s easy to use, stamps out fraud and addresses real issues in the industry.”
He adds that the decision to design the platform with cloud technology and cheaper consumer hardware allows operators to be up and running in less than 24 hours.
ShuttleID are now seeking to partner with further coach companies running school services before tickets go on sale for the 2019/20 academic year.
