Travel sustainably on World Earth Day 22 April

5 reasons why you should ditch the car and catch the bus this World Earth Day!

To celebrate World Earth Day, we'd like to highlight some great reasons why you should swap the car for the bus and make a more sustainable choice for your journeys. If we can convert some car users, even for a few journeys it could make a huge difference to the local environment in the long term.

1. Improved air quality 🍃

Buses provide the perfect and affordable solution to reducing air pollution - our fleet sports the very latest Euro 6 engine, releasing fewer emissions than the average new diesel car. If everyone switched just one car journey a month to the bus, we could reduce CO2 emissions by 2 million tonnes every year. 

2. Say goodbye to expensive parking and petrol! ⛽

With petrol prices rising and parking costs adding up, driving can quickly become expensive. Skip the stress of finding a parking space and enjoy better value travel instead. You can find our best fares quickly and easily in our app.

3. Less traffic and congestion🚦

Did you know that just 1 bus can take up to 75 cars off the road? That means fewer traffic jams, less congestion, and smoother journeys for everyone. By choosing the bus, you're helping to keep local roads moving.

4. Take some extra time for yourself on your bus journey 🧘

Sit back, relax and let us do the driving. Catch up on messages, listen to your favourite podcast, read a book, or simply enjoy a few moments of peace before your day begins. You couldn't do that in the car...

5. It’s easy! ✅

Bus travel is easy when you know how. Plan your journey, track your bus, buy tickets, and stay updated all in one place using our app. Whether you're travelling to work, school, or meeting friends, catching the bus couldn't be simpler.

This World Earth Day, why not leave the car at home and give the bus a go? Small changes can make a big difference.

We hope this inspires you to start swapping car journeys for the bus whenever you can.
