Bus services
Single bus fares across Devon have been capped at £2 until the end of December 2024, through Government funding to help ease cost of living and encourage sustainable travel.
If you travel to and from Uni by bus regularly, buying an annual Student Bus Pass can save you money. We’ve increased our subsidy of the UNI Bus to ensure it continues to provide a frequent service (every 20 minutes) between our campuses and the city centre. For details and other discounts and offers go to the Stagecoach website.
For a full timetable, journey planning and to track your bus, download the Stagecoach Bus app.
We’re also continuing to fund the Night Bus service. This operates four nights a week in term time between the city centre and Streatham campus. It runs until 4am with discounted fares.
Trains
The 16-25 railcard is available to all full time students in higher education, and gives you a third off rail tickets.

It can provide up to £50 for memberships to societies and clubs as well as tickets for events and activities. The fund is available to any student who isn’t able to take part because of financial barriers, and those who’ve had awards from the Hardship Fund, or comes from a widening participation background.
