Be safe and be seen this winter

Are you visible at the bus stop?

As winter approaches, and with the clocks going back this month, more journeys will be made in the dark - and we are keen to ensure drivers can see those wishing to board.

Not all bus stops in this region are lit - especially those in more rural areas. Anyone wearing dark clothes and standing still whilst waiting for their bus may not be seen. We are asking people to help our drivers at these unlit stops to see them, by shining a light onto the road, and gradually rotating it as the bus approaches - being careful not to shine it into our driver’s eyes.

Many people have a torch on their phones, but we understand if not everybody is able to make themselves seen. 

Of course our drivers will still pay extra attention to help ensure customers are able to board during the darker mornings and evenings.

Be safe. Be seen.

Whether it's cold, raining or dark, don't hang around at the bus stop for any longer than you have to - track your bus in live time on the Bluestar app!
