A new digital campaign toolkit from Bus Users UK for Catch the Bus Month 2025 is now live and ready-to-download, the organisation says. Led by Bus Users UK, Catch the Bus Month runs throughout September and brings together all those involved in planning and delivering services, from community groups, local authorities and passengers, to transport providers, NGOs and government.

This year’s partner pack is full of newly designed campaign assets in English and Welsh, says Bus Users UK, including posters, social media graphics and digital badges. Assets are available in ready-to-use and customisable formats so that partners can upload their own logos to reflect their branding. The kit includes campaign and event ideas from pop-up bus stops to high impact collaborations, along with a press kit and the latest data on the social, economic and environmental benefits of bus and coach travel.

A new online order form has been created to make it easier to get hold of the giant red hands used as part of the publicity, says Bus Users UK, and partners can now upload their logos through the campaign website so their incredible work can be promoted across Bus Users UK’s platforms. The Catch the Bus Month team will also be on hand to offer suggestions, advice and support to those taking part.

Launching the partner pack, Campaign Manager Victoria Walker said: “Catch the Bus Month goes from strength to strength and
this year’s campaign is our most exciting yet. Our partner pack is bursting with fresh and inspiring ideas, a bold new look and a host of ready-to-use and customisable campaign assets, all available in English and Welsh.

“Whether you’re an operator, a local authority, government representative or an NGO, if you plan services, deliver them or you’re one of the millions of people who rely on them every day, get in touch and get on board. Our partners are the driving force behind Catch the Bus Month and with their help, 2025 will be our most ground-breaking yet.”
