Bus event to encourage people to 'get on board'

The event has been organised by Lincolnshire County Council and Callconnect teams

People have been invited to a special exhibition being displayed inside buses in Lincoln to raise awareness of the "usage of public transport".

The free event, on Tuesday, will take place inside three buses, and is set to showcase photographs of the vehicles as well as images taken on routes.

Lincolnshire County Council said the displays would "encourage more people to get on board for the good of the economy and their health and wellbeing".

It is part of Catch the Bus Month, a national celebration of the benefits of buses.

The council said the exhibition buses would arrive in the grounds of the Usher Gallery, on Lindum Road in Lincoln at 10:00 BST and leave at 14:00.

Part of the event will feature photographs taken at bus stops and on bus routes throughout Lincolnshire.

Mike Reed, Head of Transport at LCC said: "This photography exhibition celebrates the wide range of people who use buses across Lincolnshire and their many reasons for doing so.

"The event may be fun but Lincolnshire County Council is serious about investing in our bus services including real time displays, new bus shelters and value for money fares."
