 Free shuttle bus for commuters to Bracknell
Thames Valley Buses have launched the trial of a new shuttle bus in Bracknell, connecting the railway station with the commercial and industrial areas to the west of the town.
The shuttle bus is funded by Bracknell BID and runs five journeys in the morning peak and five journeys in the afternoon peak on weekdays. Full timings and routes can be seen on the Thames Valley Buses website.
The service is free to use, and passengers must have a BID "I-Work" Loyalty card and show this to the driver as they board. The I-Work cards are free for anyone who works in the Bracknell BID area and offers discounts at a variety of shops and services offered by Bracknell based organisations.
