A new app allowing bus passengers in Cornwall to access journey information and discounted passes has been launched.

The Transport for Cornwall app brings together timetables and information about all bus services in the county in one place for the first time, Cornwall Council said.

Users will be able to buy and store their day, weekly or town passes on the app, as well as providing feedback on services, the local authority said.

It said people in people in Falmouth, Newquay, Penryn, Penzance, Saltash or Truro would also be able to find the location of the nearest Beryl e-bike.

Connor Donnithorne, the council's cabinet portfolio holder for transport, said: "Residents have told us that they want to be able to easily find information about Cornwall's bus network and the options available.

"This app provides that information at your fingertips and we will continue to develop it to cater for the needs of passengers."

The app can be downloaded on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
