Travel Tips

  • Many bus companies offer travel passes covering wider zones, or passes allowing low-cost travel across multiple bus operators.

  • Kinchbus sell travel passes covering Loughborough town only, giving a cheaper option for local students. Paying the full cost up front gives the biggest overall discount, while paying monthly by Direct Debit offers more affordable payments.
