1: we've connected the dots of our public transport system
We’ve been working with our local bus companies and public realm managers to get better information about bus connections to enable more people to move around, with lower impact.
the work we’ve done: 3 – making moving around easy
Our objectives here were to:
- 1: Enable residents and visitors to access and travel around the Tin Coast using public transport, effectively creating a shuttle facility.
- 2: Connect bus service with walks and trails and circular walks next to centres of population and promote with local health care providers to support healthy living.
- 3: Provide opportunities and support to start-up businesses e.g. electric bicycle hire and walking tours.
- 4: Develop innovative live timetable information.
2: we've connected the bus routes with the foot and bike routes

Cycling and why we LOVE it!
With dramatic coastline on one side and wild, rocky moorland on the other, soaring down one of the country’s most spectacular coast roads by bike will no doubt be an experience in itself.

3: we've been supporting local transport businesses
We’ve been providing opportunities and support to start-up (and established) businesses e.g. electric bicycle hire and walking tours – it’s all about connecting!
4: we've put the "live" back into bus information
We’ve worked with an array of public realm and private services, to develop innovative live timetable information in St Just and Pendeen, so we can all get where we want to go when we want to go there!
And here are some of the resources we’ve created on our website to help all this come to life and enhance what we have in the community, both for people who live here, and the people who visit us.

Be guided by your senses. Feast on local sights and sounds. Connect with the contradictory forces of your surroundings and love the Tin Coast even more.
