Stagecoach has announced cheaper bus fares are coming to East Sussex.
Working with East Sussex County Council, the bus company is offering cheaper fares to travel around the county.
Three new bus tickets are now available in East Sussex; a £5 East Sussex ‘DayRider’, free travel for accompanied children and young people and a limited offer of single fares for just £1 for children and young people.
Working jointly with the council who are helping to fund the initiatives, Stagecoach is trialling the £5 day ticket that offers unlimited travel on all its buses in East Sussex.
The ticket will be available to purchase on board or via the Stagecoach bus app.
Stagecoach is also offering free travel for accompanied young people this summer.
The scheme allows up to four children aged between 5-18 years, to travel for free with an adult who has a valid ticket or concession pass.
For young people travelling independently, a £1 single fare will be available on any bus journey in East Sussex. This offer will be available up to August 31.
These initiatives have been introduced to boost passenger numbers back towards pre-pandemic levels and help maintain a viable bus network for the longer-term.
Joel Mitchell, Managing Director of Stagecoach South East, said:
“It’s incredibly important to us that we are providing a sustainable and affordable service for our communities, especially at a time when family budgets are under pressure due to the cost of living.
“Through our work with East Sussex County Council, these new ticket options will help boost our local areas by providing people with good quality low-cost travel solutions.”
Further information on the new East Sussex bus fares can be found on the Stagecoach website.
