Stagecoach East celebrates Catch the Bus month with discounted travel

Stagecoach East has announced that it will be celebrating Catch the Bus month by launching a Megarider ticket promotion, running throughout September, offering a 33 per cent discount on bus travel across Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, and Peterborough.

The promotion enables adult passengers to buy a seven or 28-day Megarider ticket at youth prices on the Stagecoach Bus app or website. The offer, which is valid throughout September, will enable people to save money when it comes to bus travel, as part of the Catch the Bus month initiative.

Catch the Bus month is run by Bus Users UK, a registered charity with the mission of promoting accessible travel choices for all. The scheme aims to encourage people to switch to bus travel for the month of September to experience the benefits of catching the bus for work, school and leisure.

The discount on Megarider tickets can be activated for passengers in the East by entering discount code EASTCTBM7 for seven-day Megariders or EASTCTBM28 for 28-day Megariders at the checkout page on the Stagecoach Bus app or website.

David Boden, business development director for Stagecoach East, said: “Stagecoach East are pleased to be celebrating Bus Users UK’s Catch the Bus month, helping to encourage more people to make green travel choices by providing discounted travel on our adult Megarider tickets this September.

“This ticket promotion allows adults in the local community to benefit from big savings and travel from just £1.40 a day (based on the price of a Youth Town 28 Day Megarider). We hope this offer will encourage more people to use the bus as their primary mode of travel this month, and beyond.

“This is a great opportunity to discover the benefits of bus travel such as the social perks, the positive impact it can have on mental health by staying connected and reducing isolation, cutting CO2 emissions by taking more cars off the road, and providing more affordable travel in this time of rising living costs.”
