Bus travel

Options
I live within 3 miles of my college so don’t qualify for free travel. That means I have to pay £2 a day on the bus. I live just within the 3 miles so it’s quite a walk! Any idea on any loopholes to get free transport??

  • Have you checked with the bus company? A lot of them have discounted tickets for students, or you may be able to buy a student card which gives you a percentage off an adult ticket. Or you could get a bike.
  • Bike is a great decision! :)

    When i was a kid we had these things called bicycles we used as transportation. People used to sit on them and pedal to get around. Things must have moved on a bit since then, talking some 12 years ago now.

  • You can walk 3 miles in less than an hour. If you think that's a lot, I'm training for a 26 mile hike next year.
