ECC: DigiGo Public Transport Service
What is DigiGo?
DigiGo is Essex County Council’s flexible, on-demand public transport service. Unlike a traditional bus, it has no fixed routes or timetables, allowing journeys to be tailored to passenger demand. DigiGo does not operate door-to-door, nor does it only pick up from traditional bus stops. Instead, we have ‘virtual’ stops throughout our service area. These virtual stops serve as pick-up and drop-off points, with thousands located across the zone, ensuring passengers are never too far from one.
Since launching in April 2022, DigiGo has:
- Completed over 170,000 passenger journeys
- Achieved 95% 5-star journey ratings from more than 14,000 reviews
The service offers:
- An enhanced service, Monday to Sunday, 7am until 10pm daily
- Shared journeys to improve efficiency and reduce congestion
- Bookings up to 7 days in advance
- Group bookings for up to 10 passengers
- Single fares from £1.87–£3 under the Government’s £3 Fare Cap
- Free travel for concessionary bus pass holders after 9am on weekdays and all day at weekends
What will happen from 26 July?
From 26 July, the service in your area will initially operate similar to the existing DaRT service, ensuring a smooth transition for passengers. Passengers can book journeys from A to B within the Travel Zone, including to TravelEssex Connect Points for onwards travel (e.g. a bus interchange or train station)
Initially, passengers can book journeys by calling our dedicated booking line, with bookings available up to 7 days in advance. Bookings for next day travel must be made by 5pm on the previous working day.
The booking line will be open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm (03330 137138). We will begin accepting calls from Thursday 23 July, enabling residents to pre-book journeys for travel from 26 July onwards.
For our new areas, an introductory offer of free travel will be available for all passengers until 31 August 2026. This offer is designed to encourage residents to try the service while helping to ensure a smooth transition whilst we get to know current and future passengers on the service.
