Brighton and Hove providing free-travel offer

Brighton & Hove and Metrobus is supporting international Purple Tuesday (2 November) by offering all disabled concessionary cardholders free travel for a plus one of their choice.

Purple Tuesday is all about improving customer experience for disabled people by thinking about their needs year-round, not just on one day of the year. The ‘purple pound’ refers to the spending power of disabled people and their families, estimated to be worth £274 billion per year in the UK. Estimates suggest it is rising by 14% every year in the UK alone but less than 10% of organisations have a plan to harness this spending power by improving disabled people’s experiences as customers.

“We work with disabled people and local groups when we design our services and put out travel information, so our buses are as accessible as we can make them” – Brighton & Hove and Metrobus’ Managing Director, Martin Harris

Brighton & Hove and Metrobus’ Managing Director, Martin Harris, said: “We’re pleased to support Purple Tuesday and to partner with Possability People. We hope as many people as possible take advantage of this plus-one travel offer and find out how easy it is to catch our buses, whether that’s for a day out at the Pantiles in Tunbridge Wells, visiting family and friends in Crawley, or shopping at Churchill Square.

“We work with disabled people and local groups when we design our services and put out travel information, so our buses are as accessible as we can make them. Everybody deserves to feel relaxed and confident while they travel and to have the best customer experience possible.”
