Free Sunday bus travel is being offered to residents and visitors on most routes across Devon and Torbay on Sunday 22 September to celebrate World Car Free Day.
The offer is being delivered through the DevonBus Partnership, in conjunction with our bus operators – Stagecoach, Tally Ho, Dartline, Torbay Buses and Filers Travel. We’re supporting the event with Torbay Council using Bus Service Improvement Plan funding provided by the Department for Transport.
It’s also an ideal way to take part in Active Devon’s Outdoor September campaign as this free travel offer is designed to encourage more people to use the bus to explore their local area, visit family and friends and enjoy the stunning coast and countryside across Devon without the worry of transport costs.
Councillor Andrea Davis, Cabinet Member for Climate Change, Environment and Transport, said:
“The DevonBus Partnership was established to help people across Devon and this offer of free bus travel highlights what can be achieved by working together. It’s an opportunity for everyone to try the free Sunday bus services, whether it’s for a leisurely day out, to go shopping or to visit family and friends.
“Hopefully this event will encourage more people in the county to become regular bus passengers. Combined with the £2 fare for bus journeys on other days or free travel with a concessionary bus pass, bus passengers are enjoying great value for money and can rest assured they’re doing their bit for the environment.”
The routes included in this offer cover a wide area across Devon and detailed information about the specific routes and timetables can be found on the Travel Devon website.
For anyone travelling by bus Monday to Saturday, all bus journeys are still capped at a £2 single fare until December 2024.
