Continuing service on the buses for IRIS Ticketing Solutions
IRIS Ticketing Solutions is continuing to provide Arriva, one of the UK’s leading bus operators, with online ticketing for both its regional services and London tourist bus service, The Original Tour.
IRIS, who have provided ticketing solutions to the operator for the past six years, have successfully retained the contract following a tender selection process by Arriva.
Arriva had recently launched its new UK bus website in January, and by working with IRIS Ticketing Solutions is enabling passengers to purchase 4-weekly saver tickets for its regional bus services, in advance direct from www.arrivabus.co.uk.
Online ticket sales for The Original Tour, Arriva’s open top London sightseeing buses, are also powered by IRIS Ticketing Solutions via www.theoriginaltour.co.uk.
Mark Ellis, of IRIS Ticketing Solutions commented, “We are delighted to be continuing our relationship with Arriva to provide online ticketing for their regional bus services and The Original Tour. We have worked closely with Arriva over the years and have an excellent working relationship together, which we look forward to developing further in future.”
Mike Woodhouse, Marketing Manager for Arriva UK Bus, said: “In launching our new website we wanted to be able to offer customers the added flexibility of buying their tickets online. Now people can buy their 4-weekly saver tickets through our website and also benefit from a 10 per cent discount compared to buying on the bus.”
Colin Atkins, Commercial Director at The Original Tour, said: “People planning to visit London can make sure of their place on the best sightseeing experience by booking ahead through our website the originaltour.co.uk. We rely on IRIS Ticketing Solutions to help make the online experience a positive one from the moment our customers decide to book with us.”
