The Free Bus Sunday initiative means any journey within Inverclyde on a McGill’s bus will be free of charge on 15 October and Sunday, 22 October.
There are no time restrictions for travel. Journeys must start and end in Inverclyde. See here the list of services.
It follows the success of Free Bus Friday held on World Car Free Day this month when McGill’s carried almost 20 per cent more passengers than usual.
McGill’s Group Managing Director, Alex Hornby, said:
“We are delighted to team up with Inverclyde Council in providing free bus travel across Inverclyde again after the success of Free Bus Friday on World Car Free Day.
“The bus is there to help solve the twin problems of congestion and carbon emissions and is an enabler to support the local economy.
“Free Bus Sunday only serves to emphasise this message, and we hope will encourage people to leave their car at home for the day and get out there by bus, helping to free up the traffic flow and drive up trade and footfall at our brilliant local shops, businesses and attractions.
“We are passionate about spreading our positive message about bus travel in Inverclyde, and we’d love for as many people as possible to make the most of the bus network, the majority of which now is run by advanced, hi-tech and hi-spec, zero-emission electric buses. It’s great news for Inverclyde.”
