Domino’s to start delivering pizza to passengers travelling on the BUS
Hungry commuters can order by phone and have the pizza waiting for them at a bus stop during trial in Lancashire
DOMINO’S has announced it is to start delivering pizzas – to BUSES.
The takeaway giant announced its plan to begin offering the Italian fast food favourite to hungry commuters on the move.
It comes following a recent order that saw the firm deliver to a customer on a train.
And the move rang a bell with bosses who have now unveiled a trial service to the Catch 22 bus route serving Mereside to Cleveleys, near Blackpool, Lancs.
The orders need to be made via phone from a menu on the bus and will be waiting for customers when they arrive at their bus stop.
The idea proved popular with fast food enthusiasts.
