TRANSPORT MATCHING MAP GOES LIVE

Our new map that allows people with spare transport places to offer them is now live.

We are running this as part of the False Economy website, as they already have a terrific mapping tool for collecting information and testimony about the cuts.

The transport map is available at www.falseeconomy.org.uk/themarch.

But don’t expect the map to immediately offer you a place if you are looking for transport – as people will need to upload offers first.

We expect that many unions may want to offer places on coaches for their own members first before they open them up wider, so may not publicise spare seats until nearer the date.

If you are thinking of organising transport this could be a way of gauging demand – we suggest using pledgebank for this as it allows people to sign up to something that will only happen when enough people commit, publicising the pledgebank page on the relevant postcodes using False Economy.
