Free Bus Travel across West Berkshire on World Car Free Day

In celebration of World Car Free Day on Friday 22 September, West Berkshire Council is pleased to announce that most bus operators will be offering free bus travel throughout the day across West Berkshire!

World Car Free Day is an annual global event which allows people to enjoy their local area car free and embrace sustainable travel options. Leaving the car at home for a day encourages individuals and communities to use alternative modes for a cleaner, healthier future.

Bus service providers include Reading Buses, Newbury & District, Thames Travel, Stagecoach, and Going Forward Buses. This also covers: 

Lime 2/2a

   Reading Buses

   Mortimer/Burghfield to Reading

If your journey ends up outside of West Berkshire (for example into Reading) then ask for a return ticket when your board the bus in West Berkshire in order for your return fare to be covered by the free travel offer.

Concessionary Bus Passes will continue to be accepted on this special day, further promoting inclusivity and ease of use for all residents.
