Across Scotland, Stagecoach has reintroduced its Easter-themed bus campaign, running from March 31st to April 21st. As part of this spring initiative, some buses have Easter egg stickers with QR codes that are hidden and passengers can scan to participate in a prize draw. The campaign intends to spice up public transport with comedy and bring in rewards that are as diverse as free one month of travel passes as well themed gift hampers.

In addition to the on-board egg hunt, Stagecoach staff will distribute Easter treats at bus stations and Park & Ride locations throughout Fife, Perth and Kinross, Dundee, and Angus. These small gestures aim to enhance the customer experience during the Easter holidays. Arbroath depot of the company has also been amassing hundreds of Easter eggs for charity with Stagecoach doubling down on its support for ongoing community based initiatives.

For travellers exploring Scotland over Easter, this campaign introduces a unique twist to traditional transit. The possibility of winning travel passes not only rewards regular users but also encourages tourists to consider regional buses as a viable and engaging way to explore the country. QR code eggs available on multiple services, flashing alerts to passengers to be vigilant in their journeys and make them interactive.

The egg hunt also reflects a broader effort to make public transport part of the travel adventure, rather than simply a means to an end. It is a cheap family-friendly activity, especially during the school holidays. With the chance to win prizes while en route to scenic towns and rural attractions, the Easter bus hunt adds value to time spent on the road.

It’s fantastic to see our teams across East Scotland coming together to support local communities this Easter. I’m looking forward to spotting some eggs myself and seeing our customers enjoying their Easter weekend.
Sarah Elliott, Commercial Director at Stagecoach East Scotland

For visitors unfamiliar with Scotland’s regional transit, this initiative demonstrates how local travel can be both efficient and enjoyable. So it makes common routes feel like a holiday, and get people to see buses as something besides just transport but even part of the cultural/seasonal tapestry of the place. As tourism increasingly intersects with sustainability, such experiences suggest a bright future for creative, eco-friendly travel options.
