Following on from previous successful free travel initiatives over the last year, all bus journeys within West Berkshire will be free all day on the following days in December:
You can travel at any time on these days, so why not take the opportunity to go Christmas shopping, look at festive lights, attend the panto at the Corn Exchange, go for a bite to eat in the local eateries, take in some of the outstanding scenery, or do a round of pre-Christmas visits to family and friends.
Saturday 3 December is Small Business Saturday which is a day many businesses encourage consumers to 'shop local' and support small businesses in their communities. Businesses across West Berkshire will be taking part so why not take advantage of the free bus travel on Saturday 3 December and head out to support all types of small businesses such as bakers, butchers, craft shops or bespoke retailers. Many small businesses take part in the day by hosting events and offering discounts.
Want to travel further? Free travel is available to Reading, Basingstoke and Swindon. If you start your journey from anywhere in West Berkshire, your return journey will be free too - just ask the driver for a return ticket when you board.
