Better transport brings us together

Good morning Supporter

This Christmas time, we're celebrating the transport that brings us together: the buses at the heart of communities where neighbours meet and chat as they travel into town, and the trains that bring loved ones across the country to spend holiday time together.

Janette told us how transport can help to ease loneliness:

"I live alone in a rural village but we have an hourly bus service which connects to a rail service, so if I'm feeling lonely I can visit the library, read newspapers, books, have lunch in the café. It is a fantastic resource. I have a senior bus pass and Railcard and the library is free so my small pension income does not prevent me from using the services."
Janette, Worcestershire

Campaign for Better Transport works for decent, affordable, accessible transport, so that we can all spend time with our communities, our friends and our families. We lobby national and local government to reopen rail lines and stations and protect treasured bus services.

We have a lot on our plate right now (and I'm not talking about turkey and roast potatoes). Passengers have faced a year of disruption and delays, with many missing their children’s bedtimes and family gatherings as new timetables threw the railways into chaos. Despite this, fares continue to rise, leaving train travel more unaffordable for many people. And as for buses, many vital services are under threat. But with your support we can make transport better. As Neil told us,

Neil"I'm very lucky because I have good access to public transport, both bus and train. I have a bus pass and use it a lot. Every day I see older people using their bus passes, getting out to town or country and meeting people on the bus. I would like all people in the UK to have good public transport, particularly older people."
Neil Wells
