With so many tales of woe, weirdness, and wonderment resulting from what you’d expect to be a straight-forward night bus journey in London, we decided to look into what actually goes down on the top deck of London’s most infamous night bus routes.

From the rolling beer bottles and people being sick, to the boisterous crowds and flying kebabs, it seems the majority of Londoners would probably prefer to avoid these ‘nightmare journeys’, so Kabbee is staying up all night to offer a peaceful trip home for party-goers.

A study conducted by Kabbee of 1,000 Londoners, highlighted the worst five aspects involved in getting the night bus:

1.       Drunken people – 58%

2.       People shouting / chanting – 48%

3.       People eating smelly fast food – 43%

4.       Discarded beer bottles at your feet – 40%

5.       People fighting – 35%

To bring these findings to life, Kabbee has worked with a cool production agency ‘Tinderbox’, who invited members of the public to a ‘special late night event’ where they unexpectedly experienced a range of night bus scenarios.

All pots, no Peonies? How ‘Bee Kind’ is your garden? Win tickets and be inspired!

To remind  Londoners to do their best to make their gardens ‘Bee Kind‘, Kabbee has launched a campaign, whereby it will donate £1 for every journey booked via Kabbee to and from the fabulous (and fully booked) Chelsea Flower Show.*

As an official supporter of the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, Kabbee is keen to support the charity’s efforts to put a halt on the reducing bee population in the UK.

Lucy Rothstein, CEO of the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, is delighted to receive the donations. She comments: ”What a brilliant way to generate support for our endangered bumblebees. We wish more companies like this would get involved raising funds for our important work.”
