Travel Safely

The importance of providing and encouraging safe transport home at night can easily be underrated. The time spent from leaving the last venue to sourcing transport is often a serious flash point, especially for people in groups, and it is therefore essential that the transport network is efficient. An efficient network also encourages potential drink drivers to use public transport services rather than to risk the dangers of driving when over the limit.

The change from the Licensing Act 2003 which led to staggered closing times has improved the situation, and the taxi companies provide vehicles at the ranks, and are looking at other possibilities for improving their service. It’s also possible for people bringing their car in to town to have a chauffeur driven service home. Try Car Back on 01202 292979 for more information or a quote.

One of the most important contributions to the transport network comes from More Bus, operating the M1 and M2 Poole to Iford and Charminster on Friday and Saturday nights, every 30 minutes throughout the night. For more information go to www.morebus.com or call 01202 673555. We understand that current prices are £3 per single journey and £4 return.

Information is also listed on the national ‘Get Home Safe’ web site with some useful tips for staying safe – www.gethomesafe.org.uk

Enjoy a great night out in Bournemouth and a safe journey home!
