The Billion Journey Project is the UKs largest privately funded multi-modal transport innovation programme. Following the success of Go-Ahead’s 2nd accelerator programme for 2018 and Demo Day in 2019 we are very excited to announce that we will be committing to ongoing work with eight out of the ten innovative companies from the cohort. These are:
- Axon Vibe– A smart journey planning service that provides personalised real-time transport updates across a range of modes of transport
- FAIRTIQ – A smartphone-based contactless ticketing service that allows passengers to use a variety of transport on a sole virtual pass
- Route Reports– An intelligent service enabling transport operators to monitor road conditions, onboard environments and passenger numbers
- Ordoo– A mobile phone ordering app that allows customers to order and pay for food and drink ahead of their arrival, saving time and offering personalised loyalty rewards
- Citi Logik– An information service that helps passengers understand how busy their services are likely to be both before and after their boarding
- iGeolise– API that makes location-based data searchable by travel time rather than distance
- Enterprise Bot– An artificial intelligence platform that can resolve roughly 60% of inbound customer enquiries
- Dovu– A blockchain based rewards system that allows passengers to redeem tokens earned by using public transport services
We look forward to developing these ongoing partnerships and continuing our ambition to deliver innovation across rail and bus within the Go-Ahead Group.
