How to catch the bus

We have been working closely with a disability awareness group and based on their feedback, we have put this together to try and make catching the bus easier for those who may need a little extra help and support.

We strive to make our buses as accessible as possible to everyone in our community and are pleased to provide this guidance to those who need it.

Here's your guide to catching the bus!

Step 1: Plan your journey online or on the morebus app.

If you're not using our app to track buses, please arrive at the bus stop 5 minutes before the bus is due to leave.

Step 4: Are you ready? Make sure you have your fare or ticket ready when you're at the bus stop.

Step 10: Don't forget to tap off if you need to. You only do this if you tapped on to pay when you got on the bus.
