Brighton & Hove Buses

We have been in the public transport business since running horse buses in the 1880s and at the start of the 21st century we now have one of the most modern fleets of state-of-the-art vehicles. Many of our buses come equipped with easy access low floors so that push chairs, prams and wheelchairs are welcome aboard.

Visiting Motorists

Arriving in Brighton by car means dealing with congestion and queues! Parking in Brighton means paying NCP carparks a hefty price. Unless your hotel has its own parking facilities... on-street parking is for residents only! If you must drive - it's worth checking this council website for information on roadworks, congestion & where to park...
