Kids travel free on buses from this weekend

Brighton & Hove Buses are making Christmas a little easier by giving children free travel every weekend between now and Christmas Day.

The local bus company is offering free bus journeys for five weekends in the run up to Christmas. Free travel will be provided for up to three children under the age of 16 or Bus ID holders who are accompanied by an adult into the city.

Martin Harris, Managing Director of Brighton and Hove Buses, said: “We want to help people to leave their cars at home and opt for public transport in order to reduce congestion on our streets. A full bus can take 75 cars off the road which frees up our roads and helps to reduce emissions.”

He also thanked customers for their patience during the recent road works which caused city centre buses to be diverted.

The offer starts this Saturday November 25.
