Brighton & Hove Buses – changes to bus fares on campus
Posted on behalf of: Internal Communications
Last updated: Monday, 6 July 2026

Brighton & Hove Buses are introducing a new £1 fare for short journeys within campus from Tuesday 14 July.
While bus travel within campus has previously been free, the new fare is still lower than the standard short journey fares available elsewhere across the Brighton & Hove Buses network.
Student bus fares
If you currently pay as you board the bus, the national bus fare cap means a journey between campus and the city costs £3 each way.
