First Bus: Catch the Bus Month
Ask: Raise awareness that September is Catch the Bus Month.
Idea: We’ll create a catchy anthem for Catch the Bus Month that celebrates getting the bus, but most importantly, encourages people to take a trip with First Bus.
Brought to life by animator and illustrator Altea Claveras.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wake up in the morning sun
September's here let’s have some fun
Bus stop waiting got to go
It’s Catch the Bus Month don’t you know
[Verse 2]
Think of your wallet, the planet too
And all of the places, me and you
Hop on board, adventure calls
Through the streets and market stalls
[Chorus]
Catch the bus, this September
Every moment we'll remember
Ride the bus all month long
Singing a First Bus song
[Verse 3]
Historic sites and parks to see
Coffee dates just you and me
Every turn a brand-new sight
Exploring by bus all day till night
[Chorus]
Catch the bus, this September
Every moment we'll remember
Ride the bus all month long
Singing a First Bus song
[Verse 4]
Friends to meet and new places to find
School or work just don't you mind
Anywhere you want to go
It’s Catch the Bus Month now you know
How we’re taking our song further and keeping our audience engaged all month long.
I heard it on the radio…
We’ll be partnering with a local radio station to get our song played on air all month long. We’ll also be inviting local radio presenters on board to really get our anthem played out loud in the community and perform their show as they travel around our First Regions connecting with people from door to door.
BUSkers sing it best…
All throughout September, we’ll host a busking contest, inviting local talent to sing our song and share it on socials for a chance to win free bus travel. Mix it up with their own style but with our catchy tune and lyrics to make sure everyone's singing along.
