Our Future with Ride Weston
These are our plans for building a sustainable, connected, and eco-friendly transport system for Weston-Super-Mare.
Our Vision
Ride Weston is a proposed Community Interest Company (CIC) with a focus on affordable, low-emission public transport. Our plans include extending the life of existing vehicles, exploring electric bus adoption, and improving accessibility across Weston-Super-Mare.
Our Mission
We aim to operate a small, reliable fleet of community buses to connect residents and visitors to key destinations. Any profits would be reinvested to improve services, maintain vehicles, and expand sustainable transport options—once the project is operational.
Sustainability & Environmental Impact
While Ride Weston is not yet operational, we plan to prioritize eco-friendly practices, from repurposing high-mileage vehicles to eventually introducing electric buses.
These projections show how extending vehicle lifespans and transitioning to low-emission vehicles could reduce emissions, waste, and community transport costs.
Community Benefits
The planned Ride Weston service aims to make transport affordable, eco-friendly, and accessible. If implemented, it could reduce congestion, improve mobility, and encourage greener, healthier living.
Affordable Transport
Projected cost-effective travel options would make it easier for residents to get around Weston-Super-Mare.
Reduced Traffic
With more people using buses, traffic congestion could be reduced, improving commutes and quality of life.
Cleaner Air
By reusing vehicles and planning for electric buses, air quality could improve over time.
Roadmap to a Greener Future
These are projected phases for the project once it becomes operational:
Phase 1
Launch of the first small fleet, covering key routes across Weston-Super-Mare.
Phase 2
Expansion of the fleet and routes, including repowered vehicles to serve a larger area.
Phase 3 and Beyond
Further growth with eco-friendly infrastructure and partnerships with sustainable initiatives.
