The coronavirus crisis has led to the suspension of the Go Sutton bus service, as demand for the service has collapsed due to the restrictions on leaving your home and on travelling. We will petition to have it restored once the crisis is over.

The Go Sutton bus trial attracted massive attention. Information is at http://www.gosutton.co.uk

The year-long trial for this on-demand bus service had positive feedback and the service was extended to cover the area shown on the map. You could register online and phone when you want to use the bus. The cost was £3.50 (plus additional passengers at £2) but free if you have a Freedom Pass, like Richard.

The bus service was innovative, on-demand scheme which picked up residents close to where they lived and took them to any destination across most parts of the borough. The scheme started in 2019 and was due to end in May 2020 but Liberal Democrats in Sutton petitioned for the service to become permanent. Residents told us, especially elderly people or those with learning difficulties, that the bus scheme proved to be a lifeline for them. That’s why Liberal Democrat councillors set up a petition calling on the Mayor of London and Transport for London to make the scheme permanent.You can still sign the petition by clicking here . Apart from helping people to get around the borough,  the scheme helped us to improve air quality, reduce congestion and cut down on the number of individual car journeys. Please sign the petition.
