Bus fares
Bus fare offers and updates
As the current phase of our Bus Service Improvement Plan ends, our fare reductions will be ending.
From 1 February 2026 we will be removing our BSIP fares, however the £3 national bus fare cap will continue to be available.
For details of your journey's fare, check the information on the bus operators' website, app (Brighton & Hove Buses, Stagecoach and Metrobus and Compass Travel ) or speak to your driver.
Freedom Weekly Ticket
The Freedom Weekly Ticket provides unlimited bus travel on all bus services in East Sussex for under 19s. From Saturday 14 February the cost of this ticket will change to £20 for seven days of unlimited travel (currently £15).
Non-BSIP fares
Some operators offer their own day tickets - please check which services are covered to see if they are suitable for your needs.
Stagecoach services
Flexi5 and Flexi10 are also available on the Stagecoach app where you can buy the East Sussex DayRider and other Stagecoach fares. Please note 'Flexi' tickets can only be used on Stagecoach services - they are not multi-operator tickets.
