I presume this £4m app paid for by the public purse is open source so that we can all see and benefit from it? Anyone got a link?

Proprietary app, run by Trafi, a company that advertises itself as selling "mobility as a service".
No thanks.
Wouldn't doubt it's just an enshittified frontend to Google Maps.
downloading the app was very simple. I didn't need to set up an account, or any of that nonsense
Ya love to see it
Good work. Less reliance on american shite, labour council doing something that benefits british people, using public funds to fund public benefitting programs. In Kent however under Reform they invented 40 million of savings and spent over one third of the cost to create this app (1.5million) on a single private car park for themselves.
A new £4m transport app [...] which has now been downloaded more than 5,000 times
I know it has to start somewhere, but still, I can't help being tickled that it's currently costing £800 per user.
