Bus Services

It is often said that Milton Keynes was designed for the car – and not for buses. It certainly seems that way. The grid system allows speedy crossings for cars between parts of the town – but the bus service is far from ideal. I’d make two points

1 We deserve a better bus service – it is better for the environment; and for our health if more use was made of buses and trains and less of petrol and diesel driven cars. The limited oil remaining in the world would be less quickly used up – and traffic queues would waste less time.

2 While it is far from ideal – individuals can save money – and get around Milton Keynes on the services currently available.

Over the next few weeks this blog will profile the services in the city, with – I hope – useful information to help you get the best out of our buses.

Tomorrow, I will profile the Number 8 Service (from Oxley Park to Wavendon Gate).
