App has been updated for the extended network on Tuesday. Just for fun(?!) I've roughly copied scheduled bus services over the map in red and marked out in black areas which are more than 400m from both a scheduled buses and Tees Flex zone. Seeing how much of the town now has access to public transport I'm very cautiously optimistic for Hartlepool. What would be great is a promotional campaign that presents Stagecoach buses and Flex as an integrated service - live along a bus line, flat fare £1.80, pay the driver. Live in a Flex zone, get on the app, pay however is easier for you. You could even request a flex to take you to an interchange zone like Tees Bay or Queens Meadowfor longer journeys onto the 1, 36 or Arriva services northbound. 

Not sure if this is possible as public-private partnership set-up but it would be better for everyone.
