With the Rising Cost of Living, Catch the Bus!

2 years ago Tue 4th Oct 2022

The current rising cost of living has been prevalent over the last few months. From bills to broadband, food to fuel, the price of most things we use in our daily life is on the way up. So, saving money where you can is going to be adopted by most of us. Why not start by hopping on board with Cardiff Bus to save money on fuel? If you’re not convinced and are reluctant to leave the comfort of your car keep reading, we are going to tell you about all the benefits of catching the bus and why you should be incorporating it into your daily routine!

Cost Effective  

Despite its convenience and comfort, cars are one of the biggest money drainers in our daily life. From services to MOT’s, the cost of cars is ongoing with the average driver spending over £1000 on fuel each year!

However, you can cut these costs massively by catching the bus each day. Whether it’s to work, school or for your own leisure, Cardiff Bus will get you to where you need to be with fantastic fares meaning that your reasonable rides will save you a large amount of money. The money you save on fuel costs and other car expenses could be used towards your other bills.

So, it really is a no brainer, get on board with us to reduce your spending on fuel. You can read more about our fares, and which applies to you in the ‘Fares’ section on our website.

Sustainable

As well as draining your bank account, cars are known for their lack of sustainability. With one car producing over 4.6 metric tons of CO2 emissions each year, which has massive implications on the environment, catching the bus is the way forward.

If more people caught the bus this would dramatically reduce the amount of carbon dioxide polluting the air by reducing road congestion. This means that less money will be spent on fuel and therefore have an impact on the economy as well as the environment. We’ve also replaced part of our fleet with electric buses to improve the air quality further.

No Parking Fees

Every little thing adds up, and with the rising cost of living we are becoming even more aware of this. Even things as minor as paying for parking can have a detrimental effect on your bank account. For example, paying £5 a day for parking for five days a week equates to £1,200 on parking per year! If you factor that into the cost of petrol, you’re spending over £2,000 a year on your car (without the maintenance!).

By coming on board with Cardiff Bus you will save a huge amount of money with our lowest fare starting from £1.20 for adults! Travelling with Cardiff Bus is an extremely cost-effective way of travelling in and around Cardiff and we will ensure that you get where you need to be for a low price.

Here at Cardiff Bus, we understand the struggles due to the increasing cost of living which is why we strive to make our fares as affordable as possible to ensure that your journey is reasonable as well as convenient and comfortable. We’re looking forward to seeing you on board soon!
