Because of The Bus

Our ‘Because of the Bus’ video features real passengers from Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire, who explain the vital role bus travel plays in their daily lives.

Because of the Bus, these local residents can stay connected with friends and family, discover their local area safely, enjoy a stress-free commute to work and reduce their carbon footprint.

We love hearing from our passengers about the positive difference bus travel makes to them, so it’s wonderful to be able to bring those stories to life with our new Because of the Bus video. We are passionate about putting our customers first and are delighted to give them a voice through the initiative. We hope it will encourage more people to stay connected, reduce their carbon footprint and discover their local area safely using our services.

Whether you’re travelling to reconnect with friends and family, commuting to work or college or doing your bit for the environment, just sit back, relax and leave the rest to us! Plan your next journey here

Meet the stars of our video:

Zara, Home Carer

Because of the bus, I can get to work!

"Without the bus, I couldn't get to work because I work all over Cambridge. I recommend that other people use the bus because I never have to wait long for a bus, there's always one every 5-10 minutes!"

Kameron, Baker

Because of the bus, I can enjoy day trips across the East of England!

"I rely on the bus every day to get me to work, but also it helps with my mental health as I like to travel. It builds me up and makes me happy to see different places. I recommend for other people to use the bus as it's a fast, safe and efficient way to get anywhere you need to get to!"

Melodi, Self Employed

Because of the bus, I am able to stay connected with friends!

"I use the bus to get around, go to the gym and see friends in Cambridge. I recommend that others use the Busway because they can go from St Ives to Cambridge and it helps stay connected with friends and family in a fast way!"

Tony, Local Radio Presenter

Because of the bus, I no longer need the car!

"Wherever I want to go in Cambridge, I hop on a bus as there's always one going where I want to go. The bus for me is absolutely wonderful to get about and I'd recommend it to anyone. It's the healthy and green option!"

Suella, Job Centre Advisor

Because of the bus, I have an easy commute.

"I rely on the bus because it helps me get into Bedford for work. I recommend that other people use the bus because the Stagecoach app is very easy to use. I couldn't get around without the bus!"

Emily, College Student

Because of the bus, I am able to get to college on time!

"I live in an area which is quite remote from my school and the bus helps me get here on time. It also helps me maintain my friendships. Without the bus i wouldn't have been able to get to college."
