Free school transport
Your child may be able to get free school transport if they live further away from school or can’t walk to school because they have special educational needs or mobility problems that mean they can't be reasonably expected to walk to school.
Public buses
You can get a disabled person’s bus pass so that you can travel for free on Brighton & Hove buses during certain times of the day:
- for your child, if they are at least 5 years old, and have a disability that means they can’t be reasonably expected to walk to school
- for yourself, if you are at least 18 years old, and have a medical condition that means you can't be expected to drive
If you have a Carers' Card or a Compass Card you can get a discount on Brighton & Hove bus services.
