Wokingham Borough Council will offer free bus travel with costs to be covered using funding from the Department for Transport. This means that all those boarding local bus services from bus stops in the borough on the six Saturdays leading up to Christmas, as well as for Wokingham Winter Carnival and Woodley Christmas Extravaganza, will travel for free.

“We know that it was a popular scheme last year and we hope to encourage more residents to give the bus a go and remind occasional users that the bus is a great way to get around. “The free bus travel will help people who don’t drive, prefer not to drive or are struggling to afford to run their car at the moment, whether visiting friends and family, stocking up on festive gifts and treats or getting to and from work. “If it has been a while since you have taken the bus, why not take advantage of a free trip to see what you’ve been missing.
” “And don’t forget, there is currently a £1 park and ride offer giving you more options when travelling further afield.”.
