New bus-journey planner

FirstBus, which runs a number of services in the Bus World region, has added a new journey-planner tool to its website.

Space Checker allows passengers to plan ahead to see how busy a service is going to be; if it is too busy, they can choose a quieter time in which to travel.

The tool is very simple to use; just select the relevant bus service, direction of travel, and bus stop.

Space Checker indicates the busiest and quietest travel periods of the day, and passengers can make travel plans up to a week in advance.
