Buses4Us is a community action group set up in response to drastic rural bus service cuts in early 2022.
We are currently fundraising to start a new bus service connecting Ross-on-Wye, Newent, Ledbury and surrounding villages.
Until early 2022, when bus services were axed, our communities had been connected by regular buses for over 70 years, and by train before that.
Our new service – the 232 Daffodil Line, will restore those vital public transport links for local people, and provide a great way for visitors to explore our magical corner of the country.
We have so far (October 2022) secured £146,000 and need a further £44,000 to get our service started.
Please support us if you can.

Our Team
Current Campaign
Currently, we are working to reinstate regular bus services between the neighbouring towns of Ledbury and Ross-on-Wye and Newent, and the villages in between.
Our towns and villages were connected by regular buses for over 70 years. These were discontinued in February, having ceased to be “economically viable” during the pandemic. Read More . .
Objectives
We believe that good public transport is an essential part of a sustainable future for rural towns and villages. If bus services are to have a long-term future we need to do things differently.
