The halls aren’t the only things that have been decked this festive season, with Busways Central Coast rolling out some specially decorated buses to spread holiday cheer and raise funds for children’s charities throughout December.
Glistening with tinsel, baubles and fake snow, the special Christmas buses from the Wyong and Gosford Depots are doing the rounds on roads across the Coast and will be displaying their festive finery up until December 22, with customers asked to get on board and support the fundraising initiative, with Busways kicking things off with its own $5,000 donation.
Local charities set to benefit are Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation for Busways Wyong and the Starlight Children’s Foundation Australia for Busways Gosford.
“Our Christmas Bus Initiative is driven by the people working at our depots who chose a local charity to support.
“Staff have taken pride in decorating their buses and can’t wait to see the smiling faces of their passengers when they hop on the bus each day,” said Acting Operations Manager at Busways Wyong, Aaron Johnson.
“We’d love to top the funds raised in previous years after what has been a challenging year for many to say the least,” he added.
Operations Manager at Busways Gosford, Jeff Grima, concurred.
“Our Christmas buses get behind a great cause and create a good feeling for everyone, and I encourage the community to enjoy and donate.”
