Catch the Bus Month 2025

Bude-Stratton Town Council is supporting Catch the Bus Month this September, a national campaign run by Bus Users UK to celebrate the benefits of bus travel.

Buses boost the economy, reduce congestion and pollution, and can improve health and wellbeing. Around 10 million journeys are made by bus every day in the UK, yet Government figures show they account for just 2% of transport emissions compared to 60% from cars and taxis.

Throughout September, Transport for Cornwall will be sharing daily posts on their Facebook page highlighting places you can reach by bus, along with news and competitions including the chance to win free travel.

Catch the Bus Month Campaign Lead, Lydia Horbury, from Bus Users UK said:

“We’re thrilled to have organisations across the country championing Catch the Bus Month 2025 and celebrating these vital services and the incredible people who run them and rely on them. Buses are the unsung heroes of transport – connecting our communities, reducing traffic and emissions, and keeping life moving.”
