We have challenged a local man, Adham Fisher, who has attempted various public transport Guinness World Records, to travel on as many bus routes in Leicester as possible in one day. He will be undertaking the challenge on Monday 9th June so look out for him! The rules are:
1. The aim is to travel on as many bus routes as possible in one day, using a flexi-day ticket.
2. Adham must collect evidence of each journey, either by taking a photo or asking a member of the public to sign a log sheet.
3. Each bus route number will count only once, even if Adham makes multiple journeys on it, with the exception of a route having two operators, e.g. route 14 will count twice if Adham takes both Arriva and First buses on it.
4. During the day, Adham must travel on each of the major companies covered by the flexi-day ticket - Arriva, Centrebus, First, Kinch Bus and Stagecoach.
Public transport has an important role to play in tackling air pollution because if many people take the bus, it reduces the number of vehicles on the road. We hope that Adham’s challenge will demonstrate the potential of public transport in Leicester.
We have told the bus companies and David Shelley, Commercial Director of Centrebus, said “The bus is a great way to get around Leicester and the County and investment in modern, low pollution vehicles means that public transport is playing a big part in helping make the air cleaner. It is great that more people are now finding out how convenient and cost effective travelling this way can be. “
