Busways Gosford drivers are hoping for a bright Christmas for the Cancer Council as the Christmas Bus Initiative hits the road for the second year running.
Staff at Busways’ Gosford depot have decked out five buses with Christmas decorations and have taken them out on the road for route services.
Fundraising tins will also be on board for customers who wish to donate their loose change for a local charity nominated by the depot. The initiative was a success last year with Busways raising over $2,400 in donations for various charities.
Busways marketing and sustainability manager, Ms Donna Frith said: “The depot teams have decked out their buses to put a smile on the face of our passengers, from the littlest ones to the oldest.
“They’ve chosen a local charity to raise funds for to give back to the local community. “We’re hoping we can top the amount raised last year,” she said. Busways Wyong has four Christmas Buses raising funds for Camp Breakaway.
“Busways invited passengers to hop on and enjoy a ride on a Christmas bus if they see it in their local area,” Ms Frith said.
