A new free app is set to revolutionise the way Tube users in London are able to travel and help support the capital move out of lockdown restrictions. TUBR helps people using the City鈥檚 Underground travel via a free app which alerts them to station crowds and congestion. Via cutting-edge technology, TUBR accurately monitors and tracks passenger levels at stations then feeds back information to users planning a journey. This allows Tube users to plan ahead or travel by alternative routes suggested by TUBR.
Rising numbers of commuters returning to the office after more than a year in lockdown are now downloading TUBR from the App and Play stores. The surge in demand comes amid research by TUBR which shows commuters are increasingly anxious about returning to public transport.
In TUBR鈥橲 study, a third of people polled admitted they were feeling 鈥渁nxious鈥� about using public transport again. A further one in four said they 鈥渉ad not used it all鈥� while just 10 per cent said they were 鈥渞elaxed鈥� about the idea of hopping back on a Tube.
