RESIDENTS are being reminded to think Warwickshire Buses when planning their next night out.
The latest figures from Stagecoach Midlands for 2024 have revealed that every month an average of 3,181 residents boarded an evening bus service across the county with an increase between June and January of 37 per cent.
Evening bus routes in Warwickshire link to, and from, a range of destinations such as Leamington, Rugby, Stratford and Nuneaton from 8pm onwards.
These buses also provide excellent connectivity to neighbouring Coventry.
Buses play a vital role not only in providing a cheap and effective form of transport but also keep congestion and emissions down by reducing the numbers of vehicles on the roads.
Warwickshire County Council’s communities spokesperson Mark Ryder said: “Warwickshire Buses are your passport to a more relaxing night out. Whether you’re catching a show, grabbing dinner with friends, or dancing the night away, our reliable network can get you there and back safely and conveniently.
“But it’s not just about taking the stress out of driving and parking. Using public transport is also about taking a choice to be part of our drive to reduce traffic and cut down on harmful emissions.”
Mark Whitelocks, Stagecoach Midlands managing director added: “It’s great to see the number of people making use of evening services increasing. Evening bus services are essential for a thriving, inclusive community. They ensure that people working late or enjoying the local nightlife can travel safely and affordably.”
