About Us

In 2005 a survey showed that commercial bus services covering the residential areas of Princes Risborough and the surrounding villages had significantly reduced.

In 2006 a voluntary body called Risborough Area Community Action (RACA) – now Risborough Area Partnership (RAP) – conducted a Local Travel Survey to determine how best to address the problem of declining bus services.

-RACA distributed 3000 questionnaires and 65% of respondents said that they would use a community bus service if made available.

A project group, set up to examine the feasibility of a community bus service, confirmed the demand suggested by RACA’s survey, identified potential routes covering residential areas poorly served by commercial bus services, determined the type of service best suited to the task and an appropriate type of bus, and identified funding opportunities and methods of recruiting volunteer drivers.
