Brighton & Hove Bus Co. : Exciting news: A new cross city service '1X' will be introduced on 7th July 24. Replacing the 1A, this will offer a fast limited stop service from Mile Oak to Brighton Marina. The remaining service 1 will be upgraded to be almost as frequent as the current combined service 1/1A. The same date will see changes to the service 2, 21, 71 & 73 (mostly updating the timetable to improve reliability, due to increased congestion). Although the service 2 will see a later journey to Rottingdean.
As well as the £2 maximum single fare (now extended to December), there is a maximum £5 unlimited travel fare, within the city (including cash fares), and special offers for people under 19. If you use Tap-on, Tap-off; then the cost of the second and subsequent days 'Saver' ticket is reduced, within that week. This makes it cheaper than 'The Key' daily fare, and sometimes cheaper than the 24-hour fare on the app!
Although if you want to make use of a £5 ticket in East Sussex you must use the B&H app.

Brighton & Hove has its all encompassing app. While Apple Express (on iPhones) is available; but please keep your phone separate from debit cards, or the system may not know which one to charge!

Metrobus, south and mid Sussex:
The big news is from 21st May 24, the service has been upgraded, and now basically offers a fast hourly service between Crawley and Brighton (Old Steine), Monday to Saturday. With a new Sunday service. It has been made limited stop within Brighton (south of Carden Avenue). And only certain journeys will serve Hickstead and Bolney (to further speed up the service), but Hurstpierpoint and Handcross (serving Nymans Gardens) are still served. Often taking less than an hour between Crawley and Brighton, this is nearly 40 minutes quicker than using the 271, and should greatly encourage usage.
