Eat, Sleep, Bus, repeat

EAT, SLEEP, BUS, repeat...

making your routine more reliable

It’s no secret that we are fans of using the bus! 

Our latest campaign reminds everyone that buses are there for you, whoever you are, wherever you are going, making the bus part of your routine is an option.

They might not be right for every journey you make, but the bus is a great choice for many local trips as well as some across the Island too.

In the 2023 National Travel Survey 71% of all trips taken were under 5 miles.  However, the car is still the most common mode for distances beyond 1 mile, with a significant number of car journeys being under 5 miles.

We’d like to encourage you to think about taking the bus, so it becomes part of your routine. Whether that’s every day or once a week.

As an example:

Meeting friends for coffee?

A trip from Sandown High Street to Shanklin bus station

Taking this journey would save 698g of CO2 compared to driving.  That's the same as charging your mobile 2,957 times!

Commuting for work

A trip from Cowes, Marks & Spencer to Newport bus station

Taking this journey would save 1481g of CO2 compared to driving.  That's the same as keeping a fridge running on for 54 days!
