UrbanThings is a London-based technology startup specializing in intelligent mobility. Founded in 2011, it first caught the public’s attention with the Bus Checker suite of apps, which brought live departure times and journey planning to users in major cities worldwide. The company also runs the public transport arm of Bristol City Council’s open data platform.
UrbanThings has been awarded UK government funding to develop an innovative and low-cost mobile Bluetooth ticketing solution for public transport operators.
