Greener Journeys will once again be spearheading Catch the
Bus Week this spring, a week-long series of events running from 28th
April to the 4th May.
The campaign’s key aim is to get people who don’t normally take the
bus to make the switch during the week. In addition to encouraging modal
shift, the campaign also aims to increase awareness of the benefits of
bus travel in the UK in the process.
Greener Journeys wants this year’s campaign to be even bigger than
last year, creating a lasting shift in perceptions among those who don’t
normally take the bus. There will be a myriad of ways to get involved;
from taking part in local bus company’s activities and promotions;
to promoting the week in local bus areas, online, in newsletters or your
office; to running your own promotion, event or competition; to
challenging people in local communities to switch one car journey to a bus
during the week.
According to Greener Journey "There are so many great reasons to travel by bus and we want to
really showcase these through the week through a nationwide media
campaign, combined with activities organised by local bus companies,
local authorities, PTEs and passenger organisations amongst others."
