Metrobus — Handy travel app for Sussex, Surrey and Kent

Metrobus is an Android application created by Go Ahead Group plc to make bus travel across Sussex, Surrey and Kent easier. It combines ticketing, live information and journey planning in one place to help commuters, shoppers and night‑out planners get where they need to go smoothly.

Core capabilities

  • Live departure times and route overviews so you can see where each service goes and when it will arrive.
  • In‑app ticket purchases using debit/credit cards or Google Pay, removing the need for cash.
  • Interactive maps that display bus stops and nearby services for quick navigation.
  • Journey planning tools that let you map out trips, find connections and check timetables.
  • Records of contactless journeys with itemised charges and an overview of savings.
  • The ability to save frequently used departure boards, timetables and planned trips for faster access.
  • Service disruption notices to keep you informed about delays and route changes.

Secure ticketing and payments

Buy mobile tickets directly from the app using debit/credit cards or Google Pay. Mobile ticketing removes the need to carry cash and keeps your fares in one secure place on your phone.

Live travel information and planning

Use the built‑in map to locate nearby stops, explore upcoming departures and view the routes serving a stop. The app also includes planning features that help you organise commutes, shopping trips or evenings out, and provides full access to route timetables.

Contactless travel history

If you tap on and off with a contactless card, Metrobus can show a history of those journeys, including a breakdown of individual charges and any savings compared to other fare options.

Save favourites for quick access

Pin departure boards, timetables and entire journeys to a single menu so your most‑used information is one tap away when you need it.

Service alerts and disruptions

Receive disruption feeds and service notices so you’re aware of cancellations, diversions and other changes that could affect your travel plans.

Coverage and cost

Designed for passengers in Sussex, Surrey and Kent, Metrobus is free to download and use. It’s aimed at anyone who relies on local buses for daily travel or occasional trips.
