Join Metrobus in Crawley for Catch the Bus Month 2024

This September, the Catch the Bus Month initiative led by Bus Users UK returns with the aim to get everyone onboard and champion accessible travel.

The Metrobus team want to hear from you, so come along and share your views on bus travel and accessibility with us on Tuesday 27th August at Queens Square, Crawley, between 10:00am - 11:30am.

Claire Walters, Chief Executive of Bus Users UK and Disability and Access Ambassador for the Disability Unit will also be in attendance at the Metrobus event, and said:

“We're delighted to be launching our campaign this year with people who really understand the need for bus travel to be as accessible as possible in order to let everyone get on with living their best lives without additional barriers. Come and say hello and tell us what the bus means to you!”

Metrobus will be joined by Surrey County Council and West Sussex County Council Transport teams, as well as disability and accessibility groups Surrey Coalition of Disabled People, Disability Rights UK, and Sight Loss Councils of Thomas Pocklington Trust.

There will also be the opportunity to test the accessible on-bus facilities of a Metrobus single decker bus during the event, pick up timetables and other useful bus and accessibility information from our team.

Ed Wills, Managing Director for Metrobus said,

“We’re delighted to be hosting events in Crawley and Brighton next week and are really keen to chat with our local residents about bus travel. Catch the Bus Month 2024 focuses on accessibility and highlights the benefit buses have on people’s lives. We are proud that Metrobus has been awarded leader status for the ITS (Inclusive Transport Strategy) from the Department for Transport and have a key focus on making our buses accessible for everyone.”

We look forward to meeting you at Queens Square on Tuesday.
