From Monday 25th September 2023, electric scooters must not be brought on board any Stagecoach service, even if the battery pack has been removed. This safety step is due to the batteries on e-scooters being a known fire risk and multiple fires occurring on UK public transport.
Today, on bus and coach worker support day, we say thank you to all of Britain’s bus workers who continue to keep the country moving 👏🏻
Please celebrate with us and share stories of your bus workers going above and beyond
