🌙 Help us see you this autumn and winter! 🚌

As the nights draw in and the mornings get darker, it can be harder for our drivers to spot passengers waiting at bus stops.

💡 Here are a few simple ways you can help:

🦺 Wear something bright or reflective to help you stand out.
📱 If it’s safe to do so, use your phone torch to make yourself more visible to the driver as the bus approaches.
👋 Stand somewhere visible near the bus stop and give the driver a clear signal that you want to board.

Our drivers want to make sure you get safely on board, so let’s work together to help them see you!

Stay safe, stay visible and happy travelling! 💛
