Catch! is a new multi-modal journey planner that will understand where there's congestion and disruption, and divert you around it, saving you time, money and frustration. At the same time, it gives your local council a new understanding of what we need from our transport systems, helping councils run better services that meet your needs.

Local Champion |
We know transport can suck. But now you can make a difference by putting your community's transport needs on the map. The Catch! app automatically adds your journeys to a combined canvas that will let your council see how the transport system is operating and how it can be improved for your community.

Early Adopter |
As a seasoned pro of the latest apps, you know that by jumping aboard before everyone else, you'll have the best handle on new tech and the kind of canny feedback that will make it get even better. Catch! needs those maverick test pilots that can hold on during the bumps and steer this thing to new heights.

Smart & Cool |
For the George Clooney's of this world who just make everything seem so effortless. The secret to always arriving on time and unflustered, is either use your private jet or make sure you've got the inside track on the best route. Catch! is building a system to figure out how the transport system is working so it can route you around the sticky bits and get you where you need to be - cool, calm and collected.

Busy Bee |
If, like most of us, you're always buzzing about with loads to do and not enough time to do it, then you can't afford to waste time stuck in traffic, waiting for the bus or figuring out how to get home when your train's cancelled. Make a bee line for your destination with Catch! As our community grows over the next year it will help you zip around congestion and disruption to cut your journey times.

Building a transport system of the futureWe'll be releasing loads of small updates that add up to a game changing app. With each update, the Catch! service will get a little bit smarter, starting from a helpful journey planner to get to an intelligent system that combines the local knowledge of everyone who uses the app.
Ultimately it will be able to detect how the transport system is working, and then give routing suggestions and travel updates that are more accurate than any other system. All the information that's generated by the app will help local councils and transport operators understand what we need from our transport systems, identify where they are failing us, and make the systems work better for all of us. |
About the Catch! projectThe UK government, through its Innovate UK agency, is investing in a team of 12 organisations to build Catch! The £2.1m project started in January 2016. It aims to create a new generation of travel behaviour data so that people can move about more efficiently and comfortably and transport providers can make informed decisions that deliver improved transport systems.
It will be launched as a sustainable business in 2018, but you can benefit from it now by downloading the Catch! app and joining us on our journey as we create the first 'living' multi-modal journey planner. |
