About The Campaign

This page has been set up by Somerset Bus User Groups including Frome and Villages Bus User Group (FAVBUG) and Rode's Save the 267 Bus to encourage the greater use of existing bus services.

Buses are a life line for the young, the old, the infirm and those who simply can’t afford to own and run a car. Bus services across Somerset have been cut and more are under threat. Increasing the number of people who travel on our bus services is one way of ensuring their continuation. 

We will be challenging County Councillors and MPs to use the bus whenever you can during Catch The Bus Week. 

We will be organising events in Somerset to support Catch The Bus Week and we are in touch with the local bus operators about this.  We need as many people as possible to get involved with our campaign. 

Catch The Bus Week

Somerset Catch The Bus Campaign is part of a national Catch The Bus Week organised by Greener Journeys on 4th - 10th July. It aims to increase awareness of the benefits of bus travel and encourage people who don’t usually think of catching the bus to leave their cars at home and give it a try. This event is backed by many of the major national bus operators who want to encourage more passengers onto their buses.
