We're Different

We built Journey Alerts differently to any other journey platforms, for very good reasons. It's why we have over 1m loyal users in the UK alone.

Why do we use messaging apps?

Put simply, we use messaging app like Messenger and WhatsApp because that’s what our audience uses. Messaging apps give a channel where we can have a meaningful discussion with travellers.

People are getting tired of travel apps for lots of good reasons.

To help as many people as possible

Fewer than

10%

of travellers use operator built transport apps (and  10% use google maps)

Whereas

90%

of people already use a messageing channel like WhatsApp or SMS.

That's why

98%

Of our users never leave (unlike the 75% who delete apps in the first week)

Messaging helps us help travellers

Our two-way messaging give us the oppurtunity to personalise instructions to traveller needs and preferences - and tell them when things go wrong.
