Buses are lifelines to work and school
Besides being major job creators and significant contributors to economies worldwide,buses and coaches are also lifelines to work and school.
Did you know that 1 billion bus trips are taken to work each year in the UK alone? Many workers, living in remote area, without a driving licence or a car, would face a dramatic curtailment of their economic opportunities if it wasn't for public transport by bus or coach.
Similarly, it would be difficult for many pupils and students, whose parents do not drive or cannot afford a car, to go to school and university without buses and coaches. In fact, in many countries and cities, schoolbus services have become the norm.
