Description

Get on board WESTlink, your new shared on-demand bus service in the West of England.
WESTlink is a new type of bus service and meets the needs of people who may not be in easy reach of existing bus routes or rail lines, or where no service currently exists.
Space on the bus can be easily booked by the app, which plans a route based on where other passengers are going so that it can pick up and drop off more people to places nearby.
Passengers will be collected and dropped off from some existing bus stops, and also ‘virtual’ bus stops. The service will link passengers to major bus and rail services for their onward journey, and also some key destination points. It runs without a fixed timetable or route and is booked ‘on demand’ or up to a day in advance.
The service will operate within 3 zones: North, South and the Future Transport Zone, covering the vast majority of the West of England region, outside of Bristol and Bath city centres.
When you book, the service will allocate you to the most efficient pick up and drop off nearest to your start and end destinations, depending on the route and requests from other users. You can book on demand or up to a day in advance for yourself and up to 4 passengers.
Using the app will also notify the arrival time of the vehicle, so there is no need to leave home before necessary. Everyone will have a guaranteed seat as they are prebooked.
Ticket prices will match fares on West of England buses. All concessionary passes are accepted on this service.
HOW TO USE
Create an account. Download the WESTlink app and follow the simple signup steps.
Book a ride. Enter your pick up and drop off addresses, choose the ride that works best for you, and tap Book ride.
Meet your driver. Check the app to find exactly where to meet the vehicle. It may be a short walk from where you are, but your designated pickup point helps to cut down on detours and make your journey faster!

Somehow got worse

I have no idea how but this service just got progressively worse, first off my stop is out of the service zone now my entire hometown is out of the service zone, bloody joke

First time I’ve been able to get one for a couple of months!

Arrived way too late

I booked a bus to come at 7:55 and it shows up at 9am? The service is terrible it said *2 minutes away* so I waited outside for it to come in the rain and I was outside for 15 minutes!! Then I checked to see where it was and it was 18 minutes away. It also sometimes arrives at the wrong bus stop so I have to end up walking for ages but by the time I’ve reached the bus stop they have driven off.

Is there ACTUALLY no busses!?

The WESTlink is mighty but sometimes I question it. Today a friend had a scheduled journey and I tried to join them last minute but when I searched the exact route they had taken the app claimed that ‘no seats available’. Lies! The bus had 10 spare seats - good thing that I chanced it and discovered an ATM on the bus! But how am I expected to find these chance busses if the app conceals them from me. Pls fix !

Unusable

This app is unusable. It is impossible to make any selections or navigate. It is hard to understand why this app has been offered to the public, especially as it is potentially a valuable service.

Unreliable

It’s ok if you want a leisurely drive around town but if you need to get somewhere on time it’s useless

Fiddly

Karen181 on

United Kingdom

The app is fiddly to use. I’ve never yet succeeded in being able to schedule a journey for later in the day, only “immediately”: I click on the Schedule option and it never lets me change the time. It would also help if it understood “relief” (as in hills): it’s pointless to suggest I get picked up at a bus stop 1/2 a mile away at the top of a steep hill - if I wanted to do that I’d just go and get the service bus. I have to tell it I’m somewhere else to force it to pick me up in the village at the bottom of the hill.

Useless!

We live in Failand, a small village in North Somerset - very poorly served by buses! Westlink should have been the answer to our problems but, no!! It serves the nearby villages which already have bus services but won’t pick up or drop off anywhere near us! My elderly neighbour is virtually marooned at home since poor eyesight stopped her driving. She thought Westlink would be the answer but it is no use at all!

Great service, nice app!

I live in South Gloucestershire near Bristol and this service is excellent. The app is well designed and clear, giving regular live updates as the ride arrives. It would be great if I could pay with Apple Pay, but adding a card was easy and not too much hassle.
