FreeBus is a non-profit organisation funded by memberships and donations from Bristol residents. Whilst passengers are encouraged to become members or donate, the service is free at the point of use. FreeBus aims to develop a model for communities to take control of their transport systems. With your help we can provide a comprehensive, environmentally friendly and free public transport system for Bristol, so please get on board!

The first regular FreeBus service launches on Saturday June 11th. FreeBus now has more than 700 members and has raised over £7000, but this is only the start! The FreeBus service aims to expand to serve residential routes around the city. The first bus will leave Temple Meads at 10:00am, before looping through Cabot Circus, Broadmead and the City Centre before returning to Temple Meads at 10:25 before leaving again at 10:30 and every half hour thereafter until 17:30.
