Stagecoach South East is celebrating Catch the Bus Month this September by giving away 5,000 free bus tickets, encouraging more people to leave the car at home and discover how bus travel can fit into their day-to-day.
Download the Stagecoach Bus App and use the code CATCHTHEBUSMONTH to claim your free single ticket. Please note that the tickets are only one use per customer.
Katherine Jones, Commercial Director for Stagecoach South East, said: “Catch the Bus Month is a great opportunity to remind people of the many benefits of bus travel. For some, it’s a chance to relax and enjoy a bit of extra ‘me time’ on the commute. For others, it’s about catching up with a friend, or simply letting someone else do the driving for a change.
“We’re delighted to be giving away 5,000 free tickets this September and we hope lots of people will join us at our events and discover how the bus can fit into their everyday lives.”

1 free single ticket whoopidoo!! there are no returns these days + quid for a £1 only one ride not all day as before. that’s without all the other tickets stagecoach removed and higher bus prices.
That’s marvellous ! It’s just a shame that no busses service the Kingsgate/ St Peter’s area. It makes it impossible for my wheelchair bound wife or myself to access this service.
Write to your MP. She always replies.

Except they do
They can afford to give some tickets away. The ones i pay for cost a fortune.
Much cheaper than they used to be. Fare from Margate to Canterbury was nearly £7, now it’s only £3 (£2 under the Tories!).
Some people so ungrateful .no buses in St Peter’s the loop goes through every 8-10 mins John eirwicker .
June there are no returns on any buses not just stagecoach this is also arriva buses too .
Fuel rises means fares will go up how do u expect buses to run probably think they run on thin air . What’s everyone going to do when the fare cap ends on 31st December . And fares go back to normal , oh wait and what happens when labour withdraw the CZ passes or start making CZ passes pay a certain amount per trip . Then people will moan .
All correct I am afraid.Remember it’s all very well issuing free tickets, but you need bus services to go with them.
But never mind Stagecoach has “got us”.
Maybe you can ask your MP to campaign for more services.
As far as I know she is, after all she will be backing the Better Buses bill, will Sir Roger be doing the same?
As far as you know? Can’t you ask her for clarification instead of just guessing?
Got my free ticket in the app and it’s valid for a year , no rush to use it !
Maybe you could transfer that free ticket to your kid, so they don’t have to wait in the cold again this winter whilst their parents blame stagecoach for their own cock ups?
If they can give away free tickets how come the bus drivers are very good at driving past school children at bus stops.especialy when raining,and not letting school children on who have left their bus passes at home or lost tickets.this happened to my child and her friends mid winter.
Stagecoach you have a duty of care for childrens safety.
Actually you will find that if a child has left there pass at home then without payment they will be asked for payment .
How are drivers meant to know who has actual passes and who don’t .
Also if the child is in a safe environment in daylight ie outside school or town centre then they can also refuse travel without payment . Maybe if parents made sure there children were prepared better then there would be no issue , and as for lost tickets if you lose it then u have to pay again , adults would have too .
No, PARENTS hve a duty of care regarding their children. If they do not have a valid means of travel, they’re refused service (legally ok) and the buck stops there. Only when on their buses do they have a duty of care. Ther est of that time, that duty is YOURS. Stop blaming stagecoach for your crap parenting.
Thanet m,I take it you don’t like children as you are talking utter nonsense children’s safety is paramount and if a child lives miles from the school, do you suggest they walk? Especially if they have a disability!
How did they walk to the bus stop, Dave?
Whya re you as a parent, abdicating your responsibilities and seeking to blame anyone else but you? Why couldn’t you have ordered them a taxi, like a responsible parent?
