Using a companion pass

Latest

£1, £2, and £3 single fares across East Sussex.  Check our fares page and operator apps and websites for more information. 

Disabled bus pass holders who need help to travel on buses can apply to have a companion pass. A companion pass is identified by a C+ on the pass and allows another person to travel with the holder, free of charge.

The pass holder may also travel alone.

Companions

  • do not need their own bus pass
  • can only travel free of charge when travelling with the companion bus pass holder
  • can be any age, as long as they are able to provide assistance to the companion bus pass holder
  • can travel free of charge with you within the East Sussex County Council boundary.
  • can also travel with you within the West Sussex County Council and Kent County Council boundaries thanks to a joint arrangement.
  • will need to pay for journeys starting within the Brighton & Hove City Council boundary. For example if your companion travels with you from Seaford to Brighton, they would have to pay for the journey back from Brighton to Seaford.
  • will need to pay to travel anywhere else in the country.
