Our scheduling team review the timing data regularly for any changes, especially as this is a new route. With regards to the luggage space.... Watch this space.

Even when their bus smashes into a lamp post, shattering glass all over the inside of the bus, with the driver not bothering to check on passengers, apologise, provide assistance, forcing people to walk home do they feel it is appropriate to refund your ticket. Absolute joke of a company with a monopoly on serve in the Crawley area so really don’t care.

Reunited with phone lost on 15th May

I recently lost my phone on 15th May and was relieved to be reunited with it on 20th May thanks to Metrobus’s lost and found service. It’s great to know they have a system in place where lost items can be handed in and safely returned to their owners.

Throughout the entire process, the staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which made what could have been a stressful experience much easier. I really appreciate the effort and care shown, and I’m very grateful to have my phone back.
