Buckinghamshire is better by bus!
Buckinghamshire Council is encouraging residents to get back on board their local buses! Whether you’re simply travelling to the nearest town centre or exploring further afield across the county and surrounding areas, there are various bus routes available for residents.
When COVID-19 hit, many bus routes were suspended, or only available to key workers. Now that we are heading back to normality, your local bus is ready and waiting for residents to get back on board!
Whether you’re a commuter, a family or riding solo, bus companies offer a variety of tickets, including group tickets and multi-journey fares for those travelling by bus on a regular basis.
There are many benefits to taking the bus over going out in the car. A full double decker bus can take as many as 75 cars off the road, helping to reduce congestion on the roads and improving the environment. If you choose to take the bus, you can save money on fuel and parking, too – which could go towards an extra treat while you’re out!
If you’re commuting, catching the bus can give you a bit of downtime before work, allowing you to read a book, scroll through social media or watch some catch up TV on your phone.
Whatever your reason, one thing’s for certain – Bucks is better by bus.
Cabinet Member for Transport, Steve Broadbent said: “Buses are a great way to get around the county and we would like to encourage people to give it a try and make use of the services available to them. Additionally, as demand on these routes expands, there is a great possibility to further our networks and enhance services to benefit both residents and our community. You can get some beautiful views of Buckinghamshire from the bus too! Just one of the many great reasons for getting the bus, not to mention the environmental difference you’ll make too.”
