Did you know buses are one of the most effective modes of transport for reducing carbon emissions?
Summer isn’t just about the destination, but the memories made on the journey. It’s getting to sit at the back of the bus with your friends. It’s watching the world in the window seat. That feeling when you realise it’s a double decker bus and the upstairs front seats are empty. There are a range of activities across Leicestershire that can be accessed by your local bus routes. The handy summer by bus guide offers inspiration on local events, and top attractions across the county, including Twinlakes and Twycross Zoo.
Here are some of the benefits when you travel by bus this summer:
Tap on, tap off
No more worrying about the right change, on selected services, simply hop on board and tap your card! Make sure to check out your operator information before as many services offer e-tickets that you can buy ahead of time.
Stress-free journeys
That’s right, no need to worry about those pesky parking spaces.
More time for more memories
Give your full attention to the people you’re travelling with rather than the road ahead.
Stay active
Increase your step count with those short connecting journeys between bus stops and destinations.
Cleaner and greener
Reduce your carbon emissions when you choose the bus.
Check out our guide for all the inspiration you need for your fun-filled summer.
