Brighton & Hove Bus Co. : From 18th February 2024, services 12/12A/12X/N12, all 14 services and the 492/494, have all seen minor tweaks to timetables to improve reliability.
As well as the £2 maximum single fare, 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' 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!

Stagecoach: Covering the area between Littlehampton, Worthing, and Brighton.
In March 2023, Stagecoach increased the frequency on the 700 up to every 12 minutes (a welcome restoration of frequency). And increased the Pulse service to run every 15 minutes daytime.
