Bus travel
All student bus users need to verify their student status to access cheaper tickets on the B&H Buses app.
You only need to verify your status once – after it has been done you can generally continue to purchase student tickets without re-verification until the expiry date on your ID card.
See more information via the Brighton & Hove Buses website.
Travel time between the campus and central Brighton is about 20 minutes.

We would like to remind students that when showing a 'student mticket', you must also show appropriate student ID to the bus driver. Failure to do so will mean the full adult fare will have to be paid.

Accessibility
To help accommodate members of the University and the general public with hidden disabilities or mobility issues that may not be immediately apparent, Brighton & Hove Buses have introduced the Helping Hand scheme - a yellow card or badge that quickly advises of any assistance the user may require in a discreet manner.
This can include a mobility issue, visual impairment, a hidden medical condition, or anything else that may affect your journey that the driver can help you with. The card also has space for your name and emergency contact in the case of an emergency.
Helping Hand is used on numerous local transport services, and is quickly expanding to a variety of businesses and services across the UK. For more information, visit the Brighton & Hove Buses website.
