Footbus app for iPhone and iPad

Don’t walk on your own, especially on a night out. Create a route in seconds, share it with your friends and walk together. Footbus tells you when and where to meet, gives you a route map of where you’re going and lets you know who you’re walking with - safe in the knowledge that your routes are only shared within your group.

With all the necessary information in a clear and easy-to-use app, there’s no need to send lots of messages or scroll through long group chats.

Receive a route notification, click accept to be added to the route or decline, and everyone will know if you are joining them or not. You can also suggest additional stops.

Use Footbus to create instant routes or plan routes in advance. With live route tracking and in-route messaging, Footbus gives you all the information you need in one place. Click on a route at any time for details of when and where you are walking and who with.

Footbus isnt about counting steps or recording how far you walk. It is just a quick and easy way to create and share routes to walk together - like a walking bus!

Footbus is perfect for walking home after a night out, to campus, to town, or for creating regular walking or running routes for fitness. Or simply meeting friends for a walk on a sunny day.

GROUPS
As routes are only seen by the group that you select to share them with, the first thing you need to do is create a group or join someone else’s:
-Groups are easy to create and manage
-Add members to your group from your in-app contact list or via a share link
-Users can share group links but only group controllers can admit members
-In larger groups choose who you want to be a driver (route creator) by giving them driver privilege
-Press the dots next to a group member’s name to add them to your in-app contacts, adjust driver privilege or remove them from your group
-Create or join as many groups as you like

ROUTES
Easily create, share and manage routes:
-Fill out the fields to create a route in seconds
-Group members can create and share routes with other members via route notifications
-Route notifications show the start and end stops, any mid-route stops, a route map, time, date and the driver
-You can allow others to suggest extra stops
-See who you are walking with as others join the route by clicking the members icon in route details
-Accept or decline with one click and a message is auto-sent that you are joining the route or not
-Exit a route to tell everyone on it that you’re not coming so they don’t wait for you
-One-click cancellation lets everyone know the route is no longer going ahead or you can send a route message to ask someone else to be the driver
-When the route ends you can rate it

ROUTE TRACKING
Once route members have gathered, drivers start the route to track their location:
-This tracking shows route progress
-Useful if you are meeting others at a stop along the route or if you want someone to know where you are
-You can end the route to stop tracking any time eg to save your battery
-If you forget we auto-end route tracking for you after a set time

IN-ROUTE MESSAGING
Contact everyone on your route any time without disturbing group members who are not on it:
-In-route messages will be seen by everyone on the route
-Route members receive notifications of new messages
-When the route ends the messages expire
-Please keep all messages civil!
