Single bus price cap increase 

The Government’s £2 single bus ticket cap will increase to £3 from the start of 2025. This means single bus tickets will likely increase and be a maximum of £3. A Stagecoach single bus ticket from campus to Canterbury city centre will be £2.60. 

Unirider bus pass 

The Unirider 5 is a bus pass exclusively for University of Kent students that is effective from 13 January 2025 until 13 June 2025 (the rest of the UG academic year). The Unirider 5 will cost £157, which is the equivalent to about £1 per day for unlimited bus travel! 

Students can save up to 75% with this bus pass as the public price would equate to £630.80 (calculated using the best value combination of tickets for that period of time – multiple of 28 day SE MegaRider Tickets). This ticket is valid throughout Kent and East Sussex on Stagecoach buses so you can explore the local area more widely.   

The UniRider can only be purchased on the Stagecoach Mobile App and will be available from Friday 13 December 2024.
