The Bourne Bus

The Bourne Community Bus offers travel freedom for residents.

The minibus has 15 seats and easy rear disabled lift access, so just turn up at any one of 30 safe bus stops and get off exactly where you want.

All journeys are FREE with a bus pass or £3.00 per journey otherwise (cash only). Our drivers also accept cash donations to support the bus.

We run every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 08:30 to 16:00 to make it easy for shopping in local towns, to access healthcare, social and leisure facilities and to visit friends and family.
