Coronavirus Updates

Last updated: Monday 20th July 14:00.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the way we operate our buses has changed. We have amended many of our processes in order to keep our customers and our colleagues safe.

Hopefully you will find everything you need easily, but here is a handy FAQ quide.

As the lockdown starts to ease, we are beginning to increase our service levels to accommodate those who rely on the bus to get to and from work, school and shops. Please see the latest advice on keeping yourself safe on-board before making a journey.

If you, as a customer, are displaying signs of coronavirus, we ask that you do not use public transport at this time and follow the advice issued by the NHS.

Cleaning and safety

Safety is our number one priority. We are following the advice of the Government and Public Health England and are continually looking at ways to minimise contact and transmission.

Bus operators have extensive cleaning regimes that maintain high levels of hygiene for passengers to protect the health and well-being of their customers and employees. These regimes are carefully monitored and reviewed. We are ensuring a greater focus on high-touch areas and increasing activity where necessary. We also have window stickers and next stop announcements, asking people to sit in the window seat unless in family groups to maintain social distancing, and we are asking customers to pay using contactless or mobile app to minimise cash handling - however, cash payments are still accepted for those who cannot pay by any other means.

We have also installed safety screens in our driving cabs to create a protective layer between our drivers and customers.

Enhanced social distancing measures have been put in place across our buses including some seats being made out of use. To maintain social distancing, we will only accept a certain number of passengers on each bus and some buses may reach a temporary capacity meaning they cannot accept any more customers. We will regularly monitor this to ensure that we try to have the right capacity running at all times. Please observe the on-board guidance regarding where to sit to maintain a good distance between you and other passengers.

Ticket acceptance

Wiltshire Council have reintroduced concessionary passes going back to the old rule of only being used only between 09.30am & 23.00 pm. Out of these times all passengers must pay a fare unless they have an all-day concession pass.
