Robin Hood mobile ticketing app
11 Nov 2020
SmartCitizen have released a new mobile ticketing app that lets customers buy tickets and top up their travel cards in Nottingham.
Until recently, customers have only been able to renew or top up their cards using on-street machines. But the launch of the free Robin Hood Ticketing app means customers can now top up wherever they are. The app is already available to Android users, and is expected to become available on IoS devices later this month.
With the country now in a national lockdown, the app will provide a contact-free way for Robin Hood Card customers who still need to travel to pay for their journeys.
Councillor Adele Williams, Nottingham City Council’s Portfolio Holder for Transport, said: “The Robin Hood Card is all about making using public transport easier and better value.
“Aside from the convenience for customers of more services and functions being available online or via app, having contact-free options has never been more important. The launch of this app offers huge improvements in how customers use their Robin Hood card. It’s easier and quicker, with no need to rely on an on-street machine.
“This is just the latest step in making the Robin Hood smartcard even easier for customers. Within the next few months we’re looking forward to enabling top ups using tram stop ticket machines, and on making it possible for people to use their phones instead of their cards.”
