Sydney Gets a Rainbow Ride: CDC NSW Launches Second “Ride with Pride” Bus

Hold onto your hats, Sydney! CDC NSW is back with its dazzling “Ride with Pride” bus, spreading vibrant hues and promoting inclusivity across the city. This isn’t just another mode of transport; it’s a statement, a moving canvas painted with rainbow colours that scream acceptance, equality, and unity.

“We are thrilled to introduce the ‘Ride with Pride’ bus to our community for the second year running,” said CEO of CDC NSW, David Mead.

“At CDC we are very focused on ensuring that our values, actions, initiatives and programs reflect the communities in which we operate. Our buses are such a visible part of the community that they provide us a very visible opportunity to enforce the important message of respect, understanding and acceptance”.

More than just a shiny exterior, the “Ride with Pride” bus embarks on journeys that celebrate diversity and foster a sense of belonging. Passengers from all walks of life, regardless of background, identity, or orientation, are welcomed into a safe and inclusive space where they can travel with pride, truly reflecting the company’s belief: “Everyone deserves to feel accepted and valued for who they are.”

This symbolic ride coincides with the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, making its presence felt amidst a vibrant celebration of diversity. The eye-catching artwork, designed by Transit Graphics, embodies the spirit of CDC’s Diversity and Inclusion policy, reminding everyone that “diversity is our strength.”

But the “Ride with Pride” bus doesn’t stop there! It’s also available for charter until mid-March 2024, offering organizations and communities a chance to spread their own message of inclusivity. Simply contact [email protected] to book your rainbow ride.

So, the next time you see a burst of rainbow colours whizzing past, remember – it’s not just a bus; it’s a symbol of inclusivity, reminding us that together, we ride towards a brighter, more accepting future.
