Buses are the most accessible form of public transport, connecting millions of us every day to work, education, healthcare, shops, friends and family. They ensure everyone has access to life’s opportunities, including people who are older, younger, disabled or experiencing physical or mental health issues. They are also great for the environment, the economy, our town and city centres and our health and wellbeing.

So why not give your local bus a go?

There are two ways to win:

  1. Daily prize draws: every day in September, one member who records a bus trip will win 5,000 BetterPoints (that's £5) and five members will win 1,000.
  2. Refer a Friend why not recruit a Bus Buddy? Invite friends, family and colleagues to enter four weekly prize draws for 50,000 BetterPoints (that’s £50!). Every referral, up to ten per week, will earn you an entry into the draws, which will take place on Fridays 6, 13, 20 and 27 September.

There are many brilliant benefits of bus travel:

  • Fresh air and exercise on the way to and from the bus stop
  • Relax - there's no need to worry about parking
  • You can read a book, listen to a podcast or stare out of the window - ideal ways to decompress after a day at work
  • Skip the queue if there's a bus lane on your route at rush hour
  • Chatting to fellow passengers - let your phone record your trip and engage in the ancient art of conversation!

Join us for Catch the Bus Month to experience some of these benefits for yourself - and look out for your chance to win a European city break during TravelWise Week (16-22 September). Scan to download the free app and start earning rewards today:
