Friends of DalesBus campaigns for accessible and affordable public transport for visitors and local residents to and within the Yorkshire Dales.
We are a voluntary organisation which works to support all daily local public transport services to and within the Yorkshire Dales for the benefit of local communities and visitors alike. This is to achieve equality of opportunity to access work, shopping, health and other services, as well as social and leisure activities. It is also to support the local economy and to help reduce car dependency, traffic congestion and the rising impact and carbon footprint of unrestricted road transport on fragile rural environments.
The group currently has around 300 members and welcomes new members to help support our campaign.
We also welcome donations to our Bus Fund to help support DalesBus services, please click below to make a donation:
