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.

If your journey requires taking more than one bus, use the same operator where possible. This may mean a little more walking but will be considerably cheaper
