Great bus journey competition

Sorry, this competition has now closed.

Buses are brilliant! And this spring, journeys are more affordable thanks to the £2 fare cap.

Yes, after a successful campaign by Campaign for Better Transport, most single bus fares across England have been temporarily capped at £2.

To celebrate, we’re giving away a £250 voucher for a sustainable getaway with Canopy & Stars.

Canopy & Stars

Canopy & Stars is a collection of unique, creative places to stay, with a great sustainable ethos. From shepherd’s huts to safari tents, treehouses to tipis, there are hundreds of inspiring places to stay around Britain. And Canopy & Stars promotes sustainable travel to its places, with advice on how to get there by bus or train where possible.

Our prize is a £250 voucher, which can be spent at any of Canopy & Stars’ places.
