@cbgbususers.bsky.social
@bususersuk.bsky.socialConnecting communities with affordable, accessible and sustainable transport! We couldn't agree more @davidbsampson.bsky.social - it's a great time to #GetOnBoard #CTBM26 #LoveTheBus

@cbgbususers.bsky.socialBefore getting on a bus, you need to use a bus stop. The quality of bus stop provision varies greatly, and you could describe it in terms of Bus Stops: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly.

@bususersuk.bsky.socialGreat to see @MoneySavingExp marking #CatchTheBusMonth with a feature on cheap bus travel, concessionary schemes, scenic routes and more.
A timely reminder that buses are one of the most convenient and affordable ways to travel🚍
@cbgbususers.bsky.socialBus operators keep updating services and timetables. Fortunately, Cambridge Area Bus Users are there to keep track of all the changes.

@cbgbususers.bsky.socialWe love buses, but occasionally a scheduled service operating to a fixed timetable on a fixed route isn't the answer. In these cases, Demand Responsive Transport might provide a valid alternative.
@slcouncils.bsky.socialAccessible bus travel can help blind and partially sighted people get to work, attend appointments, socialise and stay independent.
This #CTBM26, Sight Loss Council volunteers share why it matters to them. 🚌

This Catch the Bus Month, we'll be highlighting why accessible bus travel matters.
