CHANGE TO THE BUS, MOTORISTS URGED

March 9, 2022

 

As prices at the pumps continue to soar, Reading Buses have issued a reminder to motorists of the many benefits of travelling by bus.

“There couldn’t be a better time to consider changing from the car to the bus for a lot of local journeys,” Robert Williams, Chief Executive Officer of Reading Buses said today.

As well as avoiding the fuel price hike, bus travel offers free wi-fi, USB charging and metro newspapers on board.

“So you can sit back, relax, and let our fantastic drivers do all the hard work, knowing that you have saved all the fuel from your own vehicle, and helped to improve congestion and the environment.” said Robert.

“There are flexible tickets for everyone – from day tickets to annual passes. And with the daysaver5 – 5 all-day tickets – there’s no expiry so they can be used when you want.

“Tickets can be bought on the mobile app, from the driver with cash or contactless or online at www.reading-buses.co.uk

And Robert added: “One of the biggest benefits is that the mobile app lets you track live buses on a map. So there is no need to wait longer than necessary at a bus stop.”
