#CatchTheBusMonth may be over, but this one’s definitely worth a late share! Thanks @MoneySavingExp for getting on board with tips on cheap bus travel, special offers and giveaways 🚍💚
MoneySavingExpert@MoneySavingExpSep 11
The deals on the bus go round and round, all September long ('cause it's Catch The Bus Month)! Here are some promotions we've spotted (TfL told us it isn't participating) – keep an eye on your local operator's website and socials to see what's on offer: moneysavingexpert.com/travel…
'Grab a FREE Greggs breakfast roll and hot drink, plus more deals simply for riding the bus during September!' Text is on blue lines over the interior of the top deck of a bus.

Great 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🚍 tinyurl.com/47xkr7sm #CTBM26 #LoveTheBus

Cheap bus travel

Bus travel: it's more door-to-door than train travel, more scenic than the tube and cheaper than either – plus, some run all night. Find out how to make the most of it with our Cheap bus travel guide.

Proud to have been part of this campaign to remove barriers and open up opportunities for everyone #AccessibleTransport #CatchTheBusMonth #CTBM26

Yesterday, Andy Burnham took questions in Parliament for the first time as PM - and I thanked him for scrapping time restrictions on disabled bus passes. He credited our campaign in Parliament. After nearly two years of pushing, that meant a lot - and it’s genuinely refreshing to see cross-party working deliver a real change. But the job isn’t done. There are still loads of barriers that people with disabilities face, including the postcode lottery which applies to companion bus passes - which is why I’ve asked the PM to fix that next.
