City bus routes and beyond

Get to know Brighton by bus this summer. So much more than just a seaside city, the cultural metropolis hosts endless itineraries for a great day out.

From beachfront restaurants, independent record stores, and iconic attractions, Brighton is a perfect location for those who value exploring and want to enjoy a day out with friends for less. With a huge array of unique stores, you can shop to your heart’s content in Brighton’s Lanes and North Laine. Enjoy a delicious lunch, grab a coffee, or simply take in the sights at Pavilion gardens.

What’s more, you can save money on parking and fuel costs, and you won’t have to worry about getting home with 24/7 services and connections.

As well as affordable fares, travelling by bus is also your ticket to unlocking a whole host of exclusive discounts on attractions and days out across Brighton and Hove. Whether it’s a trip down the Zip Line, a sea-view adventure along the Volk's Electric Railway, a journey through history at the Pavilion, or a delicious bite from Bagelman, we have discounts across the city exclusively for our bus users.

Breeze

And if you need a breather from the buzz of the city, grab a picnic and walking boots and ‘Breeze Up To The Downs’ on routes 77,78 and 79 to Devil’s Dyke, Ditchling Beacon, or Stanmer Park.

Whether you want to explore the unique and rare flora at Stammer’s ‘One Garden’, bask in the views of land and sea from the heights of Devil’s Dyke, or hike across the rolling South Downs from Ditchling Beacon, each route has a unique adventure waiting for you at the end of it.

Coaster

For a journey almost as scenic as the destination, hop on a coaster service and be mesmerised by the spectacular Sussex coastline.

Your ticket to world-famous views, a journey onboard our award-winning Coaster bus is an easy and sustainable way to travel to Seven Sisters, Beachy Head, Eastbourne and everywhere in between!

From blockbuster movies to music videos, locations along the coaster route have long provided the iconic backdrop to some of pop culture’s most famous moments.

And don’t miss getting to know local stories and hidden histories on board an Eastbourne Sightseeing tour. The 16-stop open-top bus tour of Eastbourne and beyond begins at Eastbourne Pier, a stop served by coaster routes 12 and 12A, and will take you on a breathtaking adventure through the stunning South Downs.

Regency

Add Lewes to your list! The quintessentially British town is one of the many historical stops along our Regency routes that make for a perfect day out.

Explore cobbled streets, quirky shops and picturesque coffee shops, and even enjoy an exclusive 50% off admission to Lewes Castle and Anne of Cleves House for those travelling by bus.

And if you fancy heading further afield, explore Tunbridge Wells and the popular Pantiles on route 29. From dining hotspots to wonderfully unique retailers, Tunbridge Wells is one of the Regency Route’s greatest days out. And you can do it all for just £3.

Comfortable seating designed for longer journeys, free on-board WiFi and USB charging across the Regency fleet add to the convenience of exploring by bus this summer!
