Initially available as a phone only service for one week, while Liftango, the technology provider, completed the platform setup of the passenger app. The passenger app was then publicly launched and available from Monday 18th March 2024.
Passengers Sign Ups
Over the course of the service, passenger sign ups have steadily increased on a week by week basis. As of 14th June, we now have 356 passengers’ signed up to travel on the East L Go service:
Passengers are signing up mostly via the App, with only a few passengers each month signing up via contacting Eve’s Coaches directly. We can see sign ups tailing off, however 356 passengers on rural service is brilliant.
As week 1 was Phone bookings only, we had 12 journeys.
From week 2, and the East L Go passenger app being available, bookings tripled to 38 journeys for the week.
Continuing on, we can see a steady increase of bookings each week, peaking on the week of 22nd April with 104 bookings during this period. 96 App bookings and 8 Phone bookings.
*The graphic shows green as phone bookings, grey as app bookings, on a weekly basis. Data as of 14th June and subject to change.*
By May, we can see that 96% of bookings are now being submitted through the East L Go passenger app.
