In July 2011, we introduced a new initiative to trial
the use of social-networking site Twitter to keep bus passengers
better informed.
We are always looking for ways to improve our communication with
local bus passengers to keep them up-to-date of any disruptions or
changes to services.
We used our
Twitter feed
@nscbuses to provide live
network updates for the WebberBus SuperLink services in
Weston-super-Mare.
This trial has now ended and WebberBus will continue the
service. Passengers can follow the
Twitter feed called
@webberbus.
Alternatively, if you use
First Bus services
you can follow their
Twitter feed called
@firstbsa.
For more information about the Twitter trial, contact the
Pubilc
Transport team.
What is Twitter?
Twitter is an information network that lets you sign up to get
updates about subjects that interest you.
People, organisations and even celebrities 'Tweet' short
messages which you can follow on your computer, smart phone or by
text.
You can find out the latest council news by following our
Twitter feed, called
@NorthSomersetC.
To follow a Twitter feed on your computer or smart phone,
you will need an account, or you can use the quick follow feature,
which lets you get updates by text (there may be a cost for this
service).
If you would like to use
Twitter but are not sure
where to start you can visit the
Twitter Support
Centre.
There you can get all the information about the service, how you
can get an account, how to get updates and how
to get text updates.
