Woman from Poole launches new app - Footbus: A safe, social, and easy way to walk and cycle together
A local woman from Poole is on a mission to contribute to community safety and social connection with the launch of her new app, Footbus.
This platform is designed to ensure that no one has to walk home alone after a night out or cycle without company, making the streets of Dorset—and beyond—safer and more enjoyable for everyone.
Footbus allows people to create routes for walking or cycling with friends in just a few seconds. Whether it's planning a late-night walk home, a cycle to campus, or a leisurely bike ride on a sunny day, Footbus makes it simple to coordinate with friends.
The app provides users with a clear route map, details on when and where to meet, and information on who will be joining them. It’s a hassle-free alternative to long group chats and complicated messaging threads, ensuring that everyone stays informed and connected.
Users can share their routes only with the people they choose, providing peace of mind that their plans are private. The app's live route tracking and in-route messaging features keep users informed and connected throughout their journey, making it a valuable tool for anyone concerned about walking or cycling alone.
Footbus is already garnering attention and praise for its potential to transform how people in Dorset and beyond plan their daily commutes, fitness routines, and social outings.
With the increasing importance of community safety, especially for women walking home late at night, Footbus is a timely and welcome addition to the array of tools available for staying safe and connected. The app is now available for download, and the creator encourages everyone in Dorset to give it a try.
