Public Transport

Public Transport Lancashire has an excellent network of bus and rail services and Lancashire County Council, in partnership with local operators, is committed to providing high quality travel by public transport across the county.

Better By Bus

If you haven’t caught the bus for a while, you might be surprised by the improvements you find. This includes more modern, comfortable buses on the roads than ever before with easy access low floors and facilities for prams and wheelchairs. Bus stops and interchanges are constantly being upgraded and timetable information updated, with many routes now having Real Time bus information so you know when your bus will arrive.

Make the most of your travel time

Try catching the train if you usually drive to work and see how you can get home faster – no more getting stressed out, stuck in traffic, and there’s no hassle of trying to find a parking space. If you still have work to do, your journey time can be more effectively spent getting on with work on your lap top, answering emails or making phone calls. Or use the journey to unwind after a hard days work or leisure and let someone else do the driving. You can read, listen to music, do puzzles, play hand held games or just sit back, relax and watch the world go by on public transport.

Get fit – and save money!

Rather than parking right next to your destination, why not use the walk from the bus stop, interchange or station to where you need to go as a way of fitting exercise into your routine. Save money by buying weekly or season tickets for commuting – and there’s no need to worry about expensive parking on the bus or train!
