Children get free weekend travel on Brighton & Hove Buses until Christmas

For five weekends in the run-up to Christmas Brighton & Hove Buses is offering free bus journeys to up to three children under the age of 16 or Bus ID holders who are accompanied by an adult

The bus company hopes the offer will help reduce congestion caused by cars at such a busy time of year for shopping.

Brighton & Hove Buses managing director Martin Harris said: “We want to help people to leave their cars at home and opt for public transport in order to reduce congestion on our streets. A full bus can take 75 cars off the road that frees up our roads and helps to reduce emissions.

“We also want to thank our customers for bearing with us during the recent diversions of city centre services while roadworks took place. We know this was a tough time for some of them and wanted to thank them for your patience.”

The offer starts on Saturday 25 November and continues until Christmas Eve.
