Fuel Crisis: Southern Vectis Offering Week Of Unlimited Bus Travel At Half Price

Southern Vectis is offering local car drivers the chance to avoid rising fuel costs by switching to the bus, and trying its services for half the cost of regular weekly app tickets. 

With prices at fuel pumps creeping towards £2 per litre - and predicted to go much higher - many are reconsidering their travel options, and the local bus operator is urging them to embrace green and efficient public transport.

Southern Vectis managing director, Andrew Wickham, says: 

“Travelling by bus, rather than by car, helps reduce congestion and pollution. And now it can have a positive effect on people’s bank balances too.

“Just one full double decker bus has the potential to take up to 75 cars off the road, so we’re hoping for a positive response from local people and the chance to make an impact on the quality of the air we breathe here on the Island.

“In support of this, Southern Vectis is offering potential passengers the chance to try out bus travel for their first week from just £13.”

Customers using the Southern Vectis app for the first time can travel in any zone as often as they like for their first week with 50 per cent off standard seven day tickets, by using the discount code FUEL.
