MANY don’t know about the beautiful scenic routes that bus drivers get to witness every day, so in a bid to share their views and entice the community to visit new places, local bus drivers will soon film their bus journeys and the surrounding scenery.

Over the coming months, drivers of Stagecoach West are looking to film their scenic or unusual routes in a bid to show those within the county just how beautiful their local area is.

All films will be uploaded to a YouTube account for people to watch, in a bid to get members of the community to go further than they normally would and ride the bus to different locations for a day trip, taking in the scenery on their way.

Rupert Cox, Managing Director for Stagecoach West for, commented:

“One of the joys of riding the bus is the chance to really take in the surrounding views, which you might miss if you are driving or distracted. We could all do with taking a few minutes a day just to focus on what’s around us and appreciate our beautiful region which we often take for granted, particularly as we have some of the best views within the country. We’re filming these routes in order to share these views to those who aren’t able to witness them personally, and encourage local people to step out of their usual comfort zone to venture further afield.”
