How to travel by bus

1. Find out what bus you need to catch:

A full list of Buckinghamshire bus companies can be found here.

2. Take a mobile phone with you in case of any problems.
3. Show the driver your bus pass if you have one.

Also show him or her your Sunflower Lanyard or Autism Alert Card or Arriva Journey Assistance Card if you have any of those.

4. If you are not sure where you need to get off the bus, ask the driver to remind you just before you get there.
  • If the bus driver is rude to you, write down which bus you caught and what time you caught it, then report it to the public transport team, tell your safe person too.
