Oxon4Buses

When Oxon4Buses asked people from across Oxfordshire why they like taking the bus, they got lots of different answers: from comfort, convenience and cost to joy, pleasure and relaxation. You can read some of their stories here, and the rest in Low Carbon Oxford North’s collection.

I have recently started taking the S3 bus from Enstone to Oxford and find it very convenient and great value for money. I can work comfortably over the 45 min ride in the morning and can unwind by enjoying the view on the way home.

I’ve started taking the X9 from Charlbury to Chipping Norton. The things I have learned – great gossip! And a chance to gawp at the queues at Jeremy Clarkson’s farm shop. Astonishing!

Sally and her mum

The bus is the only sensible way to get my 102 yr old mother in a wheelchair to and from the John Radcliffe hospital, as taxis in which you can wheel in a wheelchair are few and very expensive.

I've been particularly impressed at the kindness and caring of the bus drivers. They have to get out of the cab and put out the wheelchair ramp, which slows everything down, but they are always charming. They check my mum is in the correct position and safely wheel-locked before they drive off.

It is a brilliant service.
