I hope all your exams are going well! Not long to go, one final big push!
Why not celebrate the end of exams in Bristol on Friday the 29th, coaches will leave Bath from 9pm and take you right to the centre of all the action, minutes from all the big clubs and some great bars.
Go on, treat yourself to a night out! You deserve it.
Wednesday 13th January
Sorry everybody, but due to heavy snow and unpredictable weather I have had to cancel this Friday's trip, I don't want to, but I feel that cancelling it now will give everyone enough time to make alternative arrangements. I wouldn’t want to spring it on you on Friday.
Sunday 10th January
Happy 2010 Everybody!
I hope everyone has had a great Christmas and wish you all the best in the new year! For all those students taking exams in a few weeks, the best of luck!
We have our last trip before the exams running this Friday the 15th and then our end of exams trip on the 29th.

Merry Christmas everyone,

Hope to see you all then.

Website Update:
It has been brought to our attention that sometimes when purchasing tickets, the final receipt page shows you have bought double your intended purchase. It is in fact not the case, this is a bug with the website and we are trying to fix it!
Monday 16th November

Friday 6th November
We are having problems with the website at the moment, buying tickets for tonight does not seem to be working.
If you would like to go, please email me at contact@betterbus.co.uk and I will add you to the list, we will sort out payment at the coach.
Friday 6th November
If you are feeling sick... use a sick bag!
Due to a serious incidence on Monday’s coach, we are now enforcing a strict £50 clean up charge for anyone who is sick on the coach. If you, or your friend, are feeling unwell, please use the sick bags provided or ask the driver to stop the coach and go outside.
This is disgusting, takes hours to clean and prevents the coach from being used the following day. In the past it has never been this bad and the coach company has been happy to absorb the cost. This is no longer the case and as from today a £50 clean up charge, payable on the night, will now be in force.
I’m sorry to have to announce this bad news, but a minority of people are determined to ruin everyone else’s night.
Wendesday 28th October
I'm trying out a new map of Bristol's clubs for the "where to go" page, rather than bombard you with so much to look at (like the old one) this one should be easier to use. Let me know what you think, but please have some patience with it.
Friday 23rd October
New exciting deals from Oceana!
When you buy a ticket you are given a unique ticket code. Bring this code with you when you board the coach and we'll give you a stamp on your wrist.
This stamp is your return ticket but it can also get you deals at clubs in Bristol.
Oceana will give you £1 off the entry, free VIP access and a queue jump to the front on their massive student thursdays.
Just show the stamp at the door.
- Thursday 22nd October -
This thursday enjoy the best R&B and Urban music at Panache, one of Bristol's best student clubs. Great drink deals and great music. What more could you ask for?
Tickets for thursday have been selling quickly, so don't wait till the last minute to get them.
Sunday 11th October
Thursdays are always massive student nights in Bristol, with all the big clubs doing great deals and cheap entry.
But with many people working or having early lectures the next day, it isn't for everyone.
Worry not my friends! We're now doing Friday nights as a regular thing. Check out the booking page for details of upcoming trips.
You don't have to be a student to enjoy the best night life in the South West!
If you like what we do, why not become a fan of us on facebook and let us know what you like and what we can do better?

Our first trip of the year is off to Bristol this thursday, and there are some huge acts out there for you.
First up is Oceana, whose famous thursday student night is now called Vanity, has the massive up and coming Migraine Skank, who'll be performing live.
And not to be out done by this, Panache lay host to DJ Luck and MC Neat. The Synidcate is also back on the scene with a thursday student night called Playground, set to be another massive student event!
With so much choice on offer why would you not want to go to Bristol?
