UrbanThings Story

Who We Are

Our Story

UrbanThings is a technology company that has been developing public transport solutions for more than 10 years. Our story began in 2012 when our founder, Carl Partridge, felt there should be a simpler way of catching the bus, and created the Bus Checker App which has now grown to become the largest UK independent bus times app and launched across the globe.

In 2016, UrbanThings was founded and the team started building a transport platform to help cities and operators make travel simple, offering universal access to transport information, journey planning and digital retail.

Today, UrbanThings has customers across the UK, Europe, and North America. Proudly part of Paragon ID, the world-leader in identification and smart city solutions, we continue our journey to make travel efficient, effortless and sustainable for everyone.
