About

The Bourne Bus provides daily travel freedom for all residents

The minibus has 15 seats and easy disabled lift access, so you can just turn up at one of our stops and get on and get off where you want.

The bus runs every Tuesday to Friday 08:30 – 16:00 and Wed 09:30 – 13:00 around every local Bourne village, with 30 safe pick up points.

Journeys are FREE with any bus pass or £3.00 otherwise (cash only). Our bus drivers are also happy to take cash donations.

The minibus is for local residents of all ages, regardless of physical ability. We offer essential transport for residents not on main train and bus routes, giving easy access to local shops, social activities, health centres and the Bourne College for after-school activities.

Thorney Island, Chidham and Hambrook, Southbourne, Westbourne, Compton and Stoughton Parishes and Emsworth have come together to offer this community minibus, run and managed by InOurArea CIC.
