Fares

Prices on Service 77 to Devil’s Dyke and Service 79 to Ditchling Beacon are £2.50 single and £5.00 return ("SuperSaver").

Special return fare of £2.50 on Service 79 to Ditchling Beacon from any bus stop on Ditchling Road.

The fare on service 78 is £1.80 single or £3.60 return (or "CitySaver").

Bus Pass holders travel free.

Up to two children per adult travel free. "SuperSaver" tickets offer one day's unlimited travel on the 77,78 and 79 - and on almost all Brighton & Hove Bus Company services.

To encourage people from further afield not to drive to the area, we are offering two single or return journeys  for the price of one for people arriving by train. Just show your valid rail tickets to the bus driver. Individuals can get a third off the bus fare by showing a valid rail ticket.

Please note: Rail special offer does not apply to bus "Saver" and "SuperSaver" tickets. Rail tickets must be valid for travel to Brighton or Hove.

Full timetables for Winter 2009/2010 (valid until 21 March 2010)
