All change – new bus fares for 2025

Bus fares across East Sussex will continue to be lower in the new year due to funding from East Sussex’s Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP). A £3 national bus fare cap was introduced on January 1, meaning the maximum fare for a single bus trip is limited to £3.

As a result of BSIP funding from the Department of Transport, the county council is introducing lower single adult fares of £1 and £2 in East Sussex. The new lower fares will ensure passengers will pay less than £3 on several journeys.

Under the East Sussex BSIP fare reductions, short ‘hop’ trips will be capped at £1, with medium length rides costing £2. Longer journeys will be £3 under the new national fare cap. Children’s fares will be even lower, with short journeys starting at 50p.
