Seven year old Aidan Bown was "transported back in time", with a ride on a 1966 London Transport Vintage Routemaster, as part of his prize for winning a competition to design a poster.
The Woodbury C of E Primary School pupil won the school drawing competition launched earlier this year during Catch the Bus Week, which is co-ordinated by the Greener Journeys sustainable travel campaign and supported by Devon County Council and Stagecoach South West.
Primary schools across Devon were invited to design a poster telling people why it is best to catch the bus.
Stagecoach provided the vintage bus for the day, treating Aidan and his classmates to a bus ride to their chosen day out at Stover Country Park, near Newton Abbot.
Year Two pupil Aidan said: "I was really surprised to win the competition because lots of children at different schools could enter. I really enjoyed being taken on the trip with my class, travelling on a vintage bus to Stover Park."
Councillor Stuart Hughes, Devon County Council Cabinet Member for Highway Management, said: " Aidan's design was superb, and his prize was a really a memorable day out for him and his schoolmates."
Helen Scholes, of Stagecoach South West, said: "We ended up selecting Aidan's entry because we all felt 'The environment drives my future' was a very clever way of summarising the importance of using sustainable transport."
There were also three runners up in the competition who each received a book token. All of the winning and runner-up designs will be displayed inside Stagecoach buses across the Devon network.
