FlexiBus services are now fully operational across 10 zones in East Sussex. (click here or see map above).

This service, delivered through the East Sussex Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) and funded by the Department for Transport, aims to deliver the BSIP’s objective of providing residents in rural areas of East Sussex with access to a bus service to enable residents to access services such as health, education and retail or to connect to the wider bus or rail network. Operating in the rural areas of the county where traditional bus services don’t quite reach, FlexiBus provides an invaluable link to services and access to other public transport services for onward travel. The service operates between 7.00am and 7.00pm on Mondays to Saturdays (excluding public holidays).

The cost of a FlexiBus ride is similar to a standard bus fare, £2 for a single journey, £4 for a return and £5 for a day pass that can be used on any bus service in East Sussex. There are discounts on these tickets for young people and Concessionary pass holders can use their pass to travel for free with the usual time restrictions.

To enable officers and/or members to sample the service, we are offering a limited number of rides for free.
