Preliminary Market Consultation for Provision of a Journey Planner

South Yorkshire Transport Executive currently provides a journey planning tool for customers on its customer facing website https://www.travelsouthyorkshire.com.

The journey planning tool is the fourth most popular section of the website and is accessed by customers via mobile and desktop browsers. Approximately 350,000 journey plans are made each year.

As a response to market changes, and the findings of market research nationally and locally, we are keen to be able to provide a journey planning tool that provides information to customers on how they can get from A to B easily, by their mode of their choice (including walking and cycling) , in addition to advising how much their journey will cost, where their bus / tram / train is in real-time and how long they need to wait, and if there are any disruptions along their planned journey.
