Dervla McKay, Managing Director of Aircoach
Aircoach, Ireland’s leading private bus and coach operator, has launched a new mobile app that will make its booking service quicker and easier for passengers.
The new mobile app will significantly improve customer experience by giving passengers the ability to plan, book, amend and store tickets on their mobile as well as providing coach journey tracking.
Today’s new mobile app announcement follows the launch of the new 705X Derry/Londonderry Service hitting the road and the expansion of the Free Travel Pass to their Cork (704X) and Galway (706/706X) routes.
The full range of benefits the new app will give to customers include:
· Favourite locations and previous bookings are saved making it easier to book again.
· Buy and store tickets on your phone so you will never have to worry about losing your ticket or having enough cash to pay on board.
· Best priced fares will be easily identifiable as well as services that have limited capacity.
· Check out more quickly using debit/credit card, Google Pay, or Apple Pay.
· Additional features allow for the purchase of add-ons such as Flexibook and DoDublin tickets, apply discount codes and redemption of loyalty points.
The app is available for download from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Dervla McKay, Managing Director of Aircoach said:
“Our new mobile app means it’s now even easier to book Aircoach tickets and reinforces our service as one that is convenient, innovative and customer centric. It will be a game changer for our loyal customers and how we interact with them across locations throughout Ireland.”
“Making journeys and bookings easier for customers is central to our planned growth in the future. We were the first national bus operator to accept contactless card payments across all our services and we are thoroughly committed to innovation. Today’s mobile app announcement is clear evidence of that.”
