Buses are getting better

Buses are getting better – have you experienced the difference?

 Buses in Tyne and Wear are getting better, with new vehicles, greater comfort and more fast, direct services into our town and city centres.

 No wonder more people are discovering bus offers a convenient, reliable and affordable way to work, education, shopping and fun.

 On many main roads you can catch a bus every few minutes to key destinations. And did you know that:

 £26 million has been spent on new vehicles for Tyne and Wear by bus companies since  2006?

 70% of our buses have on-board CCTV?

 Four out of five are low-floor, easy access for baby buggies and wheelchairs?

 Almost two million more passengers got on board the bus in Tyne and Wear this year.

 With fuel prices and household bills rising, bus is the affordable alternative.

 And new energy-efficient vehicles on key routes mean its good for the environment.

 We think its time you discovered the difference.
