Book a Bus is a local service that you can go from A to B of your choice and when you wish to go. You can find out more and book the service by downloading the Ride Pingo app or calling 01243 858 854. For example you can go from your home for an appointment at St Richards Hospital
Today John Beckett and I decided to try it out and using the Ride Pingo app the evening before we booked a ride from Country Inn, Bepton to Harting Down at 10am the following day. As we arrived at our journey start we received a ping message on the phone notify us of a pick up in 4 minutes
(Note: If you want an immediate service the Ride Pingo app will give you the time it takes for a bus to arrive at your destination. e.g. 17 min)
Then we received another message shown below “Be ready at Your pickup spot”
Then Jeff the driver turns up! Bang on 10:00 am!
To finish our day John and I decided to walk back the 7.5 miles to the Country Inn! However if we wanted we could have booked a bus back too. Don’t forget full details are on the book a bus link above in the first paragraph..
