From a to b - Billy Bus - REVAMPED!

In 2006 there were 338,517 cars in Canterbury. That’s nearly 2 for every 3 people! And a lot of Cantabrians, such as children, don’t drive. That’s a lot of cars! Motor vehicles can have a great effect on the environment, such as carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, and contamination of waterways through oil and fuel leaks. But, hey, we do need to get from a to b. So how can we ‘transport ourselves’ in a more sustainable way? Catching a bus, walking and biking are all excellent alternative transport options that have less negative affects on the environment.

From a to b - Billy Bus is a resource for year 1-3 students and teachers. It centres on bus awareness, safety, and the environment. This free programme is fully facilitated and includes student and teacher booklets, CD-ROM, song and bus visit.
