It's been announced on The Sprout overnight the Free 'b' bus flash mob demonstration will take place this Friday at 4.30pm.

Writing on the young persons' webzine, Daniel Grosvenor said the editors asked how many people had used the free council city centre bus service and were met with bemused looks. He writes:

We asked this question at the last Sprout Group Meeting: 8 people said "No" and the rest looked puzzled and asked: "There's a free bus? Where does it go?" When we told them they unenthusiastically went "Oh," and carried on drinking their tea.

Those taking part in the demonstration will board the bus as it travels on its journey from Westgate Street around the bus box and back to Cardiff Castle - carrying on board mannequins and cardboard cut outs. Read more about the demonstration and how to get involved on The Sprout here.
