New open-top tourist bus for Bristol

By Martin Booth  Tuesday May 18, 2021

A new open-top tourist bus is now serving the streets of Bristol.

Tootbus is an acronym for The Original Open Tour Bus, with newly rebranded double-deckers operating in both Bristol and Bath, and coming soon to Cardiff.

“This new brand symbolises renewed actions by our team,” say Tootbus’ French owners RATP Dev.

The Tootbus tour starts at the centre on Broad Quay before heading to College Green, up Park Street, through Clifton Village, past Bristol Zoo and down Bridge Valley Road to head underneath the Suspension Bridge.

Back in the city centre, the bus stops outside We The Curious, and then heads along Baldwin Street, crosses Bristol bridge, heads up Victoria Street towards Temple Meads and Redcliffe Way, and back to the start.
