All on Board

eBus Confidence sessions

Build confidence using Public Transport

This is a practical, supported session aimed at helping

you develop the skills and confidence needed to

travel independently.

Along the way, you will also meet some wonderful people

and enjoy the social connection that comes with it.

What these sessions are about

We understand that not driving anymore can feel like a big change.
Using the bus may feel unfamiliar or uncertain.

These sessions are designed to help you:

  • Feel confident getting on and off the bus

  • Understand how to plan a journey

  • Use your Bee Card or SuperGold Card

  • Know what to expect when travelling

  • Feel comfortable getting out and about again

You will be supported every step of the way in a relaxed and friendly environment.

How it works

Each session includes a supported return journey on a local bus route.

We travel together as a small group from a set starting point to a local destination and return on the same route.

The destination is simply a way to practise using the bus in a real-life setting. This may include a short visit to a local attraction or community space.

Who it is for

These sessions are for older people who:

  • Are no longer driving, or driving less

  • Have not used public transport for a while

You do not need any prior experience. You can go at your own pace.
