We have to drive to the nearest bus stop and then find somewhere to park the car.
I used my bus pass when I had Jury Service, but only after I had driven to Oxford, then I used the park and ride.

If we had a local bus service I’d use it.

Not all the time covid is at such a huge level.

Friend did just that and caught covid. She is better now but had two weeks of feeling very ill indeed.

I’d rather walk.

Covid infections rocketing here. I won't be using buses any time soon.

I'll certainly use mine as much as possible once I can be sure that Covid has receded. Apart from the petrol, parking costs a fortune round here.

Hi all moving to devon soon hopefully soon a y ideas on areas ?but North seems cheaper than south ,

You’d be better starting a separate thread for advice on this.

Bus? Don’t have them round here. Therefore no bus pass, nothing to use it on. But living where I do I really don’t need to go anywhere else to enjoy the sunshine.

I am lucky to live within 10 minutes walk of our bus station and rail station. I can use the trains with my pass anywhere in the West Midlands area. I have been using my car less over the past 4 years!

I am very lucky with my bus pass I use it on buses/trains and the Liverpool Ferry saves a lot on my petrol bill.

Great idea - DH and I both have bus passes. The only trouble is there are no buses here at the weekends!

Yes, covid induced me away from buses and back into my car. However I'm becoming braver in using public transport again. Also, I pick my times away from.rush hour. Petrol costs are certainly a nightmare.

don't waste this weekend,
