#CatchTheBusMonth may be over, but this one’s definitely worth a late share! Thanks @MoneySavingExp for getting on board with tips on cheap bus travel, special offers and giveaways 🚍💚
The deals on the bus go round and round, all September long ('cause it's Catch The Bus Month)!
Here are some promotions we've spotted (TfL told us it isn't participating) – keep an eye on your local operator's website and socials to see what's on offer: moneysavingexpert.com/travel…
ALT 'Grab a FREE Greggs breakfast roll and hot drink, plus more deals simply for riding the bus during September!' Text is on blue lines over the interior of the top deck of a bus.
Oooh! We would have loved to been involved in this. Anything else similar in the future, please reach out!

Great bus stops don't just improve the journey, they can make the journey possible #CatchTheBusMonth #Trueform #CTBM26
@BusUsersUK Every journey starts at the bus stop.
Safe, accessible, well-designed infrastructure can build confidence, improve passenger experience and encourage more people to choose public transport.

Proud to have been part of this campaign to remove barriers and open up opportunities for everyone #AccessibleTransport #CatchTheBusMonth #CTBM26
Yesterday, Andy Burnham took questions in Parliament for the first time as PM - and I thanked him for scrapping time restrictions on disabled bus passes.
He credited our campaign in Parliament. After nearly two years of pushing, that meant a lot - and it’s genuinely refreshing to see cross-party working deliver a real change.
But the job isn’t done.
There are still loads of barriers that people with disabilities face, including the postcode lottery which applies to companion bus passes - which is why I’ve asked the PM to fix that next.
Thank you for getting on board with Catch The Bus Month! 🚌👏
We’re delighted to have you joining us for a month of celebrating buses, busting myths and shouting about all the brilliant reasons to #CatchTheBus #CTBM26 #MythBUSting

Thank you so much for supporting our campaign! I’d love to travel to the gateway to the Highlands. One for my bucket list! Happy #CTBM26!
So many myths to BUSt and so many puns for me to make! Let’s make it the BUSiest #CTBM26 ever! Thank you for your support!
We love a good park and ride - it’s an excellent way of shopping and socialising without the stress and expense of city centre parking! Thanks for supporting Catch The Bus Month! #CTBM26
🚌💥 Myth BUSting is officially ON! 🚌💥 September is always Catch the Bus Month and this year, we’re on a mission to bust some myths. Let’s make it the biggest, boldest and BUS-iest CTBM yet!
