Ayr buses

As one of the most popular seaside resorts in country, it’s no wonder Ayr is one of our most travelled areas in the whole of West Scotland. Rich green countryside and amazing ocean views make Ayr a UK holiday favourite, but there’s plenty more Ayr has to offer.

Attractions such as MAS Riverside Studios, Maclaurin Art Galleries, Robert Burns' Birthplace Museum and a number of golf courses and parks are all great reasons to visit Ayr. However, Stagecoach doesn’t just offer excellent value into the area, but many commuters, residents and other regular travelers can make excellent savings with our tickets and passes too. Whatever your reason to travel, Stagecoach is a convenient, comfortable and affordable way to get you there.

Here at Stagecoach, we have a range of passes and tickets to safely get you to wherever you need to be. Our single and return tickets offer excellent value, especially when compared to costs of Ayr taxi and train fares. However, if you’re making multiple trips, we recommend our dayrider and megarider tickets, offering unlimited Stagecoach travel in the Ayr area for 24 hours – or a longer duration of your choice.

For more regular travelers, our passes can provide some serious savings. Check out our weekly, over a week and longer than a month megarider tickets if you’re a regular commuter or resident. We also offer student and unirider passes, as well as concession tickets, but don’t forget to bring the relevant ID along with you on your travels.
