Brighton Buses Team Up with Google to Revolutionise Mobile Payments
Brighton & Hove Buses have joined forces with Google and Littlepay to launch a cutting-edge mobile payment feature. Integrated directly into Google Wallet, the new system promises to make paying for bus rides simpler, faster, and smarter.
Tap, Track, and Save: What You Need to Know
About 80% of Go-Ahead’s passengers already favour digital payments like contactless cards and apps over cash. The latest upgrade takes this a step further by providing real-time updates on savings through flexible, time-based fare caps.
- Instant Savings Alerts: See how much you’re saving with fare caps every time you tap on and off the bus.
- Travel History at Your Fingertips: Google Wallet now shows a full summary of your bus journeys, letting you track rides and costs easily.
- Top-Notch Security and Ease: Powered by Littlepay, the system guarantees safe and hassle-free payments for commuters.
From Brighton to Beyond: What’s Next?
The new feature is rolling out first as a pilot on Brighton & Hove Buses. If the trial goes smoothly, Go-Ahead plans to bring this tech boost to other UK cities — and maybe even overseas — giving passengers better control over their travel spend.
