How it works
Three steps to your next fare
Set it once and let Burst watch the city for you while you focus on the road.
Share your location
Burst tracks events happening around your live position across London.
Set your radius & timing
Choose how far you’ll travel and how long before an event ends you want the heads-up.
Get the alert & go
When a reachable event is winding down, Burst pings you — even on the lock screen.
Features
Smart, not noisy
Every alert is one you can actually act on – nothing more, nothing less.
Drive-time reachability
Burst estimates the drive at typical city speeds and only alerts you to events you can reach before they end.
Lock-screen alerts
A distinct, attention-grabbing sound reaches you in the background or while you’re using another app.
Live event map
See nearby events, how far each is, and how soon it ends – with one-tap directions to any venue.
Manage your alerts
Keep a running list of the alerts you’ve received and clear them individually or all at once.
Why drivers love it
Less time empty. More time earning.
Beat the surge
Position ahead of the crowd instead of racing others to a spike that’s already gone.
Fewer empty miles
Spend less fuel and time driving between fares by knowing where demand is about to appear.
Eyes on the road
Burst does the watching. You just get a clear alert when it’s time to move.
