Bussed It Bossed It - Student Tickets

Bussed it. Bossed it! 🚌💪

Remember, every journey with us isn't just about getting from point A to B. It's about taking control, being savvy, and owning every moment of your student life. Your travels. Your rules. You've got this.

U22? Apply for free bus travel!

If you are a student under the age of 22 you can apply for a free bus travel card to access the Young Persons’ (Under 22s) Free Bus Travel Scheme.

The scheme is an initiative from the Scottish Government and with support from Transport Scotland young people and children can travel for free on all buses across Scotland.

Children or young people will need a new or replacement National Entitlement Card (NEC) or a Young Scot National Entitlement Card (Young Scot NEC) before they can travel for free.

Younger children under five years old will still be able to travel for free by bus and don't need a card.

If you're over 22, we've still got you covered

If you are a student over the age of 22 or just studying in Scotland for a short time, our student bus passes give you discounted travel anywhere within your selected zone - pay once and use it as many times as you like throughout the term with a 4 week or 13 week MegaRider ticket, or buy as you need to travel with our single, DayRider, Flexi 5 or 7 day student MegaRider tickets..

Use your student bus pass each time you board the bus, along with your student ID, and you'll get unlimited bus travel on Stagecoach East Scotland services with just one ticket.

Choose to BUS IT for free travel and great savings with cheap discounted bus tickets for students, choose the BUSSED IT BOSSED IT way of life.

Which student ticket is right for me?

Students can buy a single ticket from our driver - saving 25% on an adult fare, or purchase one of our great value DayRider or MegaRider tickets.
Don't forget, our Flexi 5 ticket is also available on the Stagecoach Bus app, offering 5 DayRider tickets for the price of 4!

Our multi-journey tickets are split into 3 prices - Town/City, Regional and East Scotland, covering local towns and cities, as well as cross country travel on our Express City Connect network. Ticket costs vary per zone type.
