Getting the best deal
The Lancaster UniRider pass provides unlimited bus travel on all Stagecoach services in the Bay Megarider Zone. Students can buy a UniRider on the Stagecoach website.
UniRiders are available termly or you can save money by purchasing a 2-Term or 3-Term Unirider. Annual UniRiders are also available.
For all ages, a return between campus and the city is £3.40. A single costs £2 and then £2.50 from 1st November 2023. Under 19s can buy an U19 DayRider on the bus for £3.50.
As a guide, anyone using the bus three or four days per week, on average, will save money with a UniRider. It depends on age and the number of terms paid for in advance, so it is worth doing a calculation before making a decision.
Working in partnership with Stagecoach
All local bus services from the University are operated by Stagecoach, with whom the University has developed a close working partnership. This partnership helps ensure the best possible service and support for students travelling to campus by bus. A prioritised campus-to-city bus service, new lower emission buses and discounted bus travel are just some of the benefits being realised through the partnership.
