IN response to the letter from Jill Young headlined We want a bus tracker on Wednesday, September 9, we would like to advise Globe readers that Merseytravel does have its own Journey Planner app, available to download free from the App Store and Google Play for smartphones.

The journey planner provides a range of timetables and map information for all public transport operators across Merseyside, as well as door to door journey plans for trains, buses, ferry services and scheduled departures from a specific location, including real time service tracking where possible.

You can look at the travel options immediately available across every mode – and can even plan ahead.

We're continuing to work with operators and look into how we can further develop the app and we are always pleased to receive feedback from users.

Councillor Ron Abbey, Merseytravel.
