Bus Cash Box Case Study
Summary
Warrington’s Own Buses can trace its routes back to 1902, when the first electric tram commenced operation in Warrington. Over 120 years later, they are still going strong, providing quality local bus services that the town of Warrington rightly deserves. They carry over 6 million passengers per year, using a fleet of 118 buses that operate approximately 5 million kilometres in service per annum. Warrington is currently one of the fastest growing economies in the North West and high-quality public transport is essential to the town’s continued development.
Challenges
In 2024, Warrington’s Own Buses invested over £44 million in 105 new, state of the art fully electric Volvo buses. This significant investment in green, renewable energy transportation makes the company one of the most energy efficient public transport companies in the UK. These technological advancements not only apply to the vehicle, but also the facilities on board – including contactless payments. However, the capabilities of these buses fell short, with no means of safely and efficiently storing cash, a payment method which is still largely used by the general public.
