PLUSBUS is cheaper and more convenient than buying a separate season ticket from the local bus company. And PLUSBUS is usually valid on most bus operators in each town (not just the largest one).
Already got your rail season ticket? You can still buy a PLUSBUS ticket. Take your rail season ticket to a ticket office and ask for a PLUSBUS ticket for 7-days, a month or 3-months up to the expiry date of your rail season ticket.
PLUSBUS season tickets are now available to most towns & cities across Britain. For more information go to: towns, fares & maps.
