Krishna gets more from her journey

Krishna didn't want to rely on family for lifts. Read how buses gave her freedom, confidence and independence, then search YourWYJourney to plan your own.

Krishna didn't want to rely on family for lifts into town, so she started using the bus. Figuring out routes, asking for help and planning journeys boosted her confidence. Live tracking through the app helped her manage her time, and having a friendly driver on hand has been reassuring along the way.

Freedom from relying on lifts

Krishna didn't want to rely on family for lifts into town. Buses gave her the freedom to get out and explore.

I can go where I want to go, safely and independently Krishna

 

Building confidence, journey by journey

Figuring out routes, asking for help, and planning journeys boosted Krishna's confidence and people skills.

Live tracking through the app helped Krishna manage her time better. Knowing a friendly bus driver is there for extra information has been reassuring too.

Discovering the local area

For Krishna, bus travel is about discovering the local area. It's a chance to relax, look out the window, and see new parts of the city while feeling safe. This has changed her views about bus travel from when she was younger.

If you’re making a change to your travel, I’d say start with a bus. You’ll cut your costs, help the environment, and you get to see more and relax.
