New SolentGo Travelcard Launched for Greater Portsmouth Area

We’re thrilled to announce that Stagecoach, in partnership with local councils and FirstBus, has launched a brand-new SolentGo Travelcard. This innovative ticket option is set to offer even more flexibility and convenience to passengers traveling across the Greater Portsmouth area.

The new travelcard allows customers to seamlessly travel on both Stagecoach and FirstBus services, covering key locations including Portsmouth, Emsworth, Horndean, Fareham, Gosport, and other surrounding areas. By offering a single ticket option that works across multiple operators, the SolentGo Travelcard makes it easier than ever for passengers to navigate the region.

The launch event took place at the Guildhall Centre in Portsmouth, where Marc Reddy, Managing Director at Stagecoach, was joined by local councillors and representatives from FirstBus. Speaking at the event, Marc said:

“We are delighted to announce the arrival of this newest addition to the SolentGo range of travelcards which give customers the chance to travel between the services of different operators on a single ticket. They are easy to buy on your phone, or - if you just want a day travelcard - from the driver.”

SolentGo Travelcard Ticket Options:

The SolentGo Travelcard is available in two flexible options, designed to suit different passenger needs:

• 1-Day Travelcard: £7.50
  Perfect for day trips or spontaneous journeys. You can purchase this ticket from the driver or via your mobile device.
• 7-Day Travelcard: £30.00
  Ideal for regular commuters or anyone who wants unlimited travel over seven days. This option is available online for use on your mobile device.

Both options offer excellent value and allow passengers to move freely across different services without the hassle of buying separate tickets.

How to Buy:

Purchasing a SolentGo Travelcard is simple and convenient. The 1-Day Travelcard can be purchased directly from the bus driver, or, if you prefer, both the 1-Day and 7-Day Travelcards are available for purchase online through the SolentGo website or mobile app. This mobile option allows you to store your ticket digitally, making it even easier to travel on the go.
