Everything you need to know about ting:
What is ting and how does demand responsive transport work?
Demand responsive bus services are not fixed to a specific route or timetable- the movement of buses is determined by the demands of those wanting to travel. Using the ting app, customers can hail a bus directly from their smartphone and travel where they like, when they like within the service operation times and zone. The app's clever algorithms enable multiple passengers to seamlessly share their journey with other customers making similar trips in the area.
Where can I travel?
Ting covers the West Huntingdonshire area including key towns such as St Neots, Cambourne, Sawtry and surrounding villages. The service has been introduced to West Huntingdonshire to improve transport links for those living in rural areas, removing young people's dependence on parents for lifts and allowing local residents to lessen their reliance on cars.

How do I book a trip?

How far ahead can I book?
The earlier the better, especially if you have a train to catch or a scheduled medical appointment to get to. You can book up to 7 days ahead. However, you can also book as late as you like before you want to be picked up. There’s a chance it might be fully booked at the time, so earlier is better.
