Perhaps you got a car so you don’t have to waste time on public transport and can charge your phone while you drive. Well now, it might be time to change your mind and sell that car.
If you want to save the money and hassle that comes with a car, London’s new buses come with benefits like phone holders and charging spots so you can spend your time watching videos, learning something new, or even playing games on your phone.
That trip to work might not seem so bad now, and you will have a lot more free time for things you enjoy.
Keep reading to learn about these new bus benefits as well as other ways you can save some money.
Getting a PAYG Mobile to Use on the Go
Speaking of phones, another way to save money while not making a big sacrifice for your budget is using a Pay As You Go(PAYG) mobile phone.
Most of the time, a PAYG mobile allows you to save a lot of money, as you just pay for what you use and can start with bills that are less than 20 pounds per month. If you evaluate these deals, you will see that they are way cheaper than your current plan.
For example, you can get a 100GB plan that uses 5G data with unlimited talk and text for just 12 pounds per month. So you can see, you aren’t giving up much by moving away from a traditional phone company.
Between a new phone and a bus instead of a car, you may find more money in your savings account than you had before in no time!
Benefits of Taking the New, Ultra-Modern Buses
As we mentioned, these buses now sport a phone-holding station and a charging port for every seat on the bus. The phone station sits on the back of the headrest of the seat before you, similar to screens on airplanes.
The charging port is just below it, allowing you to charge your phone and place it on the holding station at the same time.
You can now use your phone as much as you want without having to worry about your battery dying, or spend money to buy a battery pack.
However, that isn’t the only neat thing coming with these new buses. The goal of the design was to make them feel more modern and open than previous buses. This new model comes with large skylights, larger windows, and flooring that reminds you of wood.
Even the signage boards are nicer and more modern technological design. They also come with better cameras to make sure that everyone can feel safe getting on a bus, no matter the time or location.
There are even increased baggage and stroller spots so there is less of a struggle to get bigger items on the bus with you.
Another benefit is that these buses created roughly 3,000 new jobs and the government is providing funding to make the whole fleet of modern buses eco-friendly and more green than your current vehicle.
However, these are just the beginning. These few buses are just tests to see how passengers will enjoy the features and what else will be improved. So try to ride one soon, and maybe you can get additional features you want on the next rollout.
