TravelEssex is a journey planner for Essex residents in Basildon, Braintree, Brentwood, Castle Point,
Chelmsford, Colchester, Epping Forest, Harlow, Maldon, Rochford, Tendring and Uttlesford.
If you live in parts of Essex between Chelmsford, Braintree, Little Dunmow, and Leaden Roding, you
could also book journeys, track the vehicle, and pay for tickets for DigiGo within the app! DigiGo is a
new mode of public transport that works on-demand, rather than having fixed bus routes of
timetables. This puts you in control of your journey. To read about DigiGo’s features and operational
areas, please visit www.digigo.uk
On the TravelEssex app, you can view every stop on bus and train routes, visualised clearly on our
maps. You can also track your journey in real time via GPS.
Users can sync their calendars to the app, too. So, your journey to your next appointment, meetup,
or meeting is planned in just a few clicks.
Example journeys:
Wivenhoe to Colchester Town centre - Get the 62 bus or 61 bus, or the train via the Greater Anglia
Service.

Ratings and Reviews
Can’t amend number in booking
I think this service is amazing. One piece of feedback though is that you cannot edit number of passengers (from 1 to 2). I had to cancel my order and rebook. When I cancelled I got a message stating “cancelling will be changed for in the future.” That is fair enough if I was cancelling to cancel but I was simply cancelling to rebook as I could not find a way to add a passenger to my trip.
Brilliant service
An amazing service which gives residents living in a village reliable transport when you need it. Very pleasant drivers always willing to help & drop off wherever I requested.
Only issue is that i received a text message re a booked ride but the app is not responding both for my ride today & my pre arranged ride tomorrow.
Deleted my app but this didn’t sort out the issue.
Eventually the bus arrived but the driver had spoken to control he hadn’t received any instructions (he knew I was coming back as I told him when I’d been dropped off about 10mins before)
There is no way of contacting the digibus people to try & sort out the issue. Completely understand as you wouldn’t contact anyone if there was as an issue with the timetable bus not turning up.
Unreliable
Once booked it can’t be amended, if for instance a person needs to be added. The booking has to be cancelled then reordered, risking losing the slot. The bus generally picks us up from where ordered (a weekly request since the service started)but occasionally changes the pick up to a stop hundreds of yards away across a busy road, this can cause a real problem as a couple of my friends have mobility issues. Some experienced drivers use their common sense and call me, others stick rigidly to what the computer tells them. Also the bus is increasingly arriving up to half an hour late, which if I have a meeting renders it useless. In the main it is a great service and most of the drivers five star, it just needs tweaking, maybe someone in a control room using common sense.
Is there anybody answering the helpline?
