Plan for the person, not the timetable
A live, GB-wide journey planning platform designed with disabled and neurodivergent travellers, for the organisations that serve them.
Transport authorities, operators and public bodies use Aubin to give people the journey they are most likely to complete, calmly and independently. Use it as your own branded app, connect to it through our platform, or work with our team on design, research and travel training.
Planning the journey is often the hardest part
Research with the National Autistic Society found that more than half of autistic people said fear of unexpected changes stopped them using public transport. The barrier was not the journey itself. It was not knowing what would happen.
Most journey planners optimise for the fastest route for an average traveller who does not exist. Aubin asks a different question: which journey is this person most likely to complete?
