Supporting confident, accessible travel
Catching a bus can feel unfamiliar or daunting for some people. Through Try Before You Ride, we help passengers build confidence without the rush of a regular service, while giving our team the opportunity to listen and understand their needs.
It’s part of Ventura’s commitment to making bus travel more accessible and helping people feel comfortable travelling independently and connecting with their community.
Details of future events will be shared here when available.
