Compass Bus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Compass Bus, or Compass Travel, is an independent bus and coach operator based in Durrington, Worthing, West Sussex. They operate over 50 bus services throughout West Sussex and Surrey, linking many places other bus companies do not serve. They operate commercial and contracted routes, including the 99, a flexible service between Petworth and Chichester. This service has a fixed route, but will deviate off the route to serve a number of small villages if pre-booked. In addition, a number of Sainsbury's special bus services are run, serving Benfield Park, Rustington and Chichester Sainsbury's, as well as shuttle-bus service in Chichester to Tesco.
In October 2006 the operation of some of Compass Bus' routes, mainly in the Burgess Hill area, passed to Countryliner, who also operate in Sussex and Surrey. In September 2007, Compass picked up a number of routes formerly operated by Palaeobus, when they ceased trading.
