Where can I buy my student bus ticket?
You can buy a four and thirteen week ticket from our online store only. Remember you can also get discount on single and return fares when you show a valid Student ID card when boarding our buses.
What you'll need to travel to college or university
Please note, that to travel using your student bus ticket, you'll need to have a valid NUS, university or college matriculation card with photo ID. Student bus tickets will only be accepted on our buses when you show a valid ID*.
What should I do if I lose my student bus ticket that's on a Smartcard?
It’s important that you register your smart card online using its unique 18-digit code on the back as this will protect your tickets.
If your StagecoachSmart is registered and your card is lost, stolen or damaged you should notify Stagecoach immediately:
• Use the ‘My account’ section of the website.
• Contact the StagecoachSmart Helpdesk on 0345 810 1000.
Where there are 5 or more days left on a ticket, we will transfer this to a new card and issue to the delivery address provided. Please note it can take 3 working days for this to arrive.
If you have to purchase paper tickets in the interim, keep hold of these and we will advise on the process of claiming a refund if eligible.
What should I do if I lose my paper student bus ticket?
Your tickets are items of value and should be looked after as securely as possible.
You are advised to ensure that, as an item of value, your ticket is insured against loss of theft through your own household insurance policy. If your ticket is lost or stolen you should report this to the police and notify Stagecoach immediately. If you or we cannot recover your ticket, we may consider an application for a duplicate ticket.
We may ask you or others for information and we may refuse applications for replacement based on the grounds of the ticket being confiscated as it was withdrawn due to suspected fraudulent use.
We will only replace a ticket once in its validity period. We will impose an administration charge of £25. We will insist on the loss or crime having been reported to the police. We will insist the claim being written either by email or through the post to the operating company the ticket belongs to.
Customers are advised that Stagecoach are not liable for the reimbursement of additional tickets purchased whilst waiting for your replacement tickets to arrive in the post.
I've never been on a bus before, what do I do?
Once you've bought your student bus ticket you need to find out what times your bus is at so you don't miss that important lecture!
Chances are you've already downloaded the Stagecoach Bus App. From here you can plan your bus journey, find out where your nearest bus stop is and you can even live track your bus - giving you an extra five minutes in bed or time to finish your morning coffee!
You're at the bus stop - now what? Simply stick your hand out when your bus is approaching and and hop on board. Show the bus driver your student bus ticket and your student ID. Remember you need both when travelling on our bus services.
That's you, you're on board so you can sit back, plug in and unwind while we get you to college or university!
