A low-cost shuttle bus service between Cockermouth and Buttermere started this week.
The Lake District National Park Authority is working with partners to launch two low-cost shuttle buses for summer.
They will help promote a more sustainable way to get around the Lakes. The Wasdale service starts from June.
The Buttermere one runs from Cockermouth Main Street to Buttermere via Lorton every Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holiday until August 28.
There will be a small charge for this service. Adults will be £2 per single journey, under 21s will be £1. Concessionary pass holders can travel free, and the service is included in the Stagecoach North West Explorer and Keswick and Honister Day Rider.
Emma Moody, the LDNPA's lead strategy adviser for recreation and sustainable transport, said: “These buses have been very popular over the past couple of years, so we are delighted, with the help of our partners, to be able to bring them back for the 2023 season.
“Both Buttermere and Wasdale valleys can get very busy with traffic during peak times so this is an ideal solution to ensure that people really can make the most out of their day.
“We’ve received great feedback about how it makes the journey much more enjoyable and allows people to sit back and really take in the fantastic scenery while they are travelling."
