Compass Card offer: Compass Card holders over 18 who are not studying benefit from Student fare prices on all Keycard purchases (Student fares cut standard prices by around a third). 
Accessibility: Buses are fully accessible and many stops in Brighton and Hove have raised kerbs to allow access. The ‘Helping Hand’ scheme is a discrete way of telling the driver you need extra help –see www.buses.co.uk/helpinghand For more accessibility information, see www.buses.co.uk/wheelchairs-scooters

How?

You’ll need to apply for your Keycard by going to head office in Hove or the 1 Stop Travel office in Brighton (see above for details). You’ll be asked to show the Compass Card, plus the card holder’s photo ID. Additionally, you’ll need an email address and to provide evidence of the card holder’s current address. The card holder’s photo can be taken on the spot (or you can supply your own passport-sized photo) and the discounted travel account will be activated. Afterwards, you’ll be able to load up the Keycard online at www.smartbuses.co.uk or by visiting head office or 1 Stop Travel. If you’re applying for a Keycard on behalf of a Compass Card holder over 18, you’ll need to show written evidence that you’re acting on their behalf. The Keycard discount will expire at the same time as the Compass Card and you’ll need to reapply once you have your new Compass Card. For more info, see www.buses.co.uk/carers Please note, you’ll need at least a year to run on your Compass Card to get a 12 month citySAVER or a networkSAVER for the Keycard.
