World Car Free Day 2018Why not try taking the bus this Saturday.

This Saturday, 22 September 2018, is World Car Free Day.

World Car-Free Day encourages motorists to give up their cars for a day and try walking, cycling or using public transport instead. Changing the way you commute, shop and meet your friends could make all the difference to your health, your pocket and the local environment.

Did you know…

  • In the UK, 40% of car trips are less than 2 miles
  • Walking to your bus stop is a great way to introduce exercise into daily life
  • One full double decker bus could remove 75 single occupant vehicles from the roads
  • If we all switched from car to bus for just one journey a month, it would mean one billion fewer car journeys on our roads and would save 2 million tonnes of CO2 every year.

If it’s been a while since you travelled by bus or are new to the City, why not download our app and give it a go.

The app will tell you when your bus is due and how to get you to your destination. All you need to do is sit back, enjoy the views and let us do the driving.
