Poole Community Exchange

We have heard that last month, BCP Council and MoreBus launched a £1 bus travel trial for disabled pass holders. We wanted to share this for anyone who might find it useful.

You can now travel before 9.30am and after 11pm for £1. Travel between 9.30am and 11pm remains free, as well as on weekends and Bank Holidays.
