Stagecoach South West took Gary Rabbit, one of six ‘Golden Hop’ open top buses, to Eden Park Primary School in Brixham.
Here, it delivered interactive sessions to groups on topics including how to buy a ticket, safe travel and using the Stagecoach smartphone app for journey planning, next-stop information and live bus tracking.
The sessions formed part of the Junior Life Skills Event, open to all Year 6 pupils from Eden Park, Preston and Cockington Primary Schools who, together, form the Coast Academies Trust.
Helen Scholes, Marketing Manager for Stagecoach South West, says: “It was a pleasure to attend the Junior Life Skills event and interact with the next generation of bus passengers.
“I hope that we helped children build their confidence and knowledge of how to travel safely and easily by bus and we look forward to welcoming them on board in the future.”
Greener Journeys ‘Catch the Bus Week’, now in its fifth year, runs from 3-9 July, and aims to drive awareness of the benefits of taking the bus.
