Travel Smart Travel Safe

Travel Smart Travel Safe is the creation of an exciting partnership between Brighton & Hove Buses and Brighton & Hove Museums to provide a completely unique educational experience for schools. 

The partnership invites all schools in Brighton & Hove to bring Year 6 children on a FREE visit to Brighton Museum or the Royal Pavilion and to the Brighton & Hove Buses travel hub on North Street for an engaging confidence building workshop. 

The workshop provides crucial guidance for young people on how to travel safely and with confidence by bus across the city. Year 6 is the time when most young people move to larger schools that may be further away from home and require bus travel. It’s a n important stage in their personal development when support in building their confidence can really help and lead to more independent and safer travel for school journeys and at other times too such as meeting up with friends in town and attending after school activities.

The trip includes a free educational experience at Brighton Museum or the Royal Pavilion where Year 6 students complete educational worksheets as they walk around. At the Brighton & Hove Buses travel hub travel confidence building is provided in the form of an engaging workshop designed specifically for young people following feedback from local ambassador teachers. The session includes short films acted and narrated by young people from Downs Junior School along with lively discussions on journey planning, waiting at bus stops, boarding, and travelling by bus. Sessions usually last around 40 minutes and are completely free. We also provide free bus travel to Brighton Museum or the Royal Pavilion and back to the school.
