Free UK bus travel for jobseekers in January 2013

A partnership between bus operators and the UK state employment agency offers free bus travel to job seekers across areas in England, Scotland and Wales in January 2013.

14 December 2012 – A scheme offering free bus travel to job seekers across areas in England, Scotland and Wales in January 2013 has been launched by Smart Move partner Greener Journeys, bus operators and the UK state employment agency JobCentre Plus.

The Bus for Jobs scheme means more than 800,000 unemployed jobseekers will be granted free bus journeys across the country in January next year.

Bus operators from across the UK have agreed to support the joint initiative, meaning over 70% of the nation’s bus routes will give a helping hand to people who are actively seeking work or training.

Another good example of how bus and coach contributes to employment and growth, giving back to communities!
