The Safety Bus is run by a team of dedicated volunteers from both Oxford and Brookes Universities. Each bus has a driver and one or two co-drivers, and we are always looking for new people to add to the team!

If you want to drive the Safety Bus, you have to be over 21, and have held a UK driving licence for at least 2 years. If you want to be a co-driver, as long as you are over 18 you are welcome to join us!

Volunteer incentives include free pizza from dominoes on shift, guestlist entry to some OBSU club nights, Safety Bus hoodies, and socials throughout the year. All our team are trained either through one-day training courses or through on-the-job training, and volunteers can do as many or as few shifts as they like – although be warned, once you have got started it’s hard to keep away!

"I’ve been involved with the Safety Bus service since my second year. I got involved as I had been a Freshers Volunteer and many of the other volunteers were part of the team and recommended it to me, so I thought I would give it a go."

"I began as a co-driver which means answering calls, arranging routes and taking care of donations. I have now progressed to driver which means I get to drive (obviously)!"

"Along the way I’ve met some great people and had a lot of laughs. I have many happy memories of red bull, haribo (the fizzy ones of course) and cheesy tunes that get you though the night! Despite the fact that we don’t get paid (no, we really don’t) it’s great to be part of the team and give something back....Give it a go!"
