FAQ's

How do I use my Annual pass?

Once you've purchased your Student Bus Pass online, you will receive a blue Stagecoach Student Smart Card in the post.

Simply show your Student Smart Card along with your Student ID card to your driver. Student ID cards include any valid UK card distributed by a college or University, this also includes TOTUM cards. The name displayed on your ID must match the name on your Student Smart Card. If your institution does not provide a student ID card, please email [email protected] to request a Stagecoach student ID.

Place your Student Smart Card onto the reader when boarding and then you'll be on your way! Please note that when first using a new Student Smart Card, you will need to hold this down on the on-bus card reader for a little longer than usual in order for the card to become active. 

Where is my Annual pass valid?

We offer Student Bus Passes which cover a range of different areas within the Eastern region. You can choose a pass which allows for unlimited travel within our Town and Plus zones.
