Buses are so important in keeping towns and cities moving - shouldn’t buying a ticket be as easy as sending a text ?
We can make it happen with #ChargeToPhoneBill
This #Eurovision week, look out for a specially designed bus from CPT members @StagecoachMCSL. Buses and coaches will be vital part of the transport network this week, carrying hundreds of thousands of fans to and from the event and within the city of #Liverpool.
There could be good news on bus industry recovery.
Encouraging new users is key to that recovery.
So why not make buying a ticket easier with #ChargeToPhoneBill ?
Buying a ticket can be as easy as sending a text, so let’s look at a new way to pay 👍

Contactless is a great way to pay, but what if you don’t have a card ?
That’s where #ChargeToPhoneBill comes in - buying a ticket can be as easy as sending a text with the price of your journey going onto your mobile phone bill.
Let’s talk 👍
There’s an even easier way to buy a ticket with #ChargeToPhoneBill - no need for accounts or cards & the cost of your ticket goes onto your mobile phone bill
Launch a product.
App requires a mobile number and card details before finding out a) if your journey exists, and b) how much it might cost.
Why put barriers in that don't need to exist?
Getting people out of their cars can be hard enough as it is...
We’re looking forward to talking #ChargeToPhoneBill at Transport Ticketing Global & we’d love to talk to you.
Let’s make payments more inclusive & with around 80 million plus phones out there in the UK, it’s an accessible way for your customers to pay for their journey.
We love a good news story on fares & wouldn’t it be great to buy your bus ticket with a text & the cost go on your mobile phone bill - it’s inclusive & easy to do with #ChargeToPhoneBill
Let’s make it happen @MayorOfWY

Fascinating being part of the @CPTYorksNorth Yorkshire area meeting this morning & hearing how popular the £2 single, but, that it’s slowing buses down - wouldn’t it be nice & easy to buy your ticket with a text & faster for bus operators too. All possible with #ChargeToPhoneBill
Making payments easier is one of those things that benefits the customer, plus, with #ChargeToPhoneBill we can also speed up boarding in comparison to cash sales on the bus.
We’re a win win !
'If it benefits the customer, it should be done'.
Unfortunately, that's rarely the industry's attitude.
Default thinking seems to be 'We can't do that because...'
If you want potential customers to change their old habits, operators need to do the same.
We love the flexibility of on demand buses & wouldn’t it be great if you could pay for your trip with your mobile phone bill - we can make it happen with #ChargeToPhoneBill & we’re a Birmingham based business too @andy4wm 👍
Our on demand buses are transforming public transport in Coventry & parts of Solihull 🚌
Freed from a conventional timetable, these buses are a game-changer and genuine West Midlands innovation we are incredibly proud of 👏🏻
It’s as easy as this👇🏻🎥
Earlier this week, CPT's CEO Graham Vidler visited CPT members @FirstBusnews in Oxford for their launch of their autonomous bus service.
