Bluestar Bus driving on Hanover Buildings Street

There is lots to see and do here in Southampton, and Bluestar are here to help you make the most of it.

Whether you are headed to Westquay for a spot of shopping, or simply exploring the green space in the city centre, Bluestar’s comfortable buses with USB ports and choice of payment options have got you covered there, and home again! Nearly all of their services go in, out, or through the city centre, so why not ditch the car and expensive car parking and take the bus?

If you can swap just two car journeys per month for a bus journey, you could help reduce carbon emissions in the UK by nearly 2 million tonnes per year. Plus you’d be helping to reduce air pollution and congestion in your local area.

All Bluestar buses have clean, green, low emissions, Euro 6 engines which are more environmentally friendly than most diesel cars. On top of this, one double decker bus has the potential to take 75 cars off the road which means less traffic too.

Catching the bus has great health benefits too. Did you know that you can add a good 500 steps to your daily count just by walking to and from the bus stop?

Their great range of tickets brings great value for money – including unlimited travel tickets for you or a group. Plus with the £2 single fare cap initiative and £1 evening fare in place, you can get even more for your money. Let them be your designated driver and enjoy days out sampling the delights Southampton has to offer.

Don’t know where to start? You can find more information including journey planning, fares info and timetables over on their website or download the Bluestar app where you can track buses in live times, buy tickets and more.

All of their buses accept contactless and have a “tap on tap off” service, but with our app, your phone is your ticket. No more fumbling around in your bag for coins or worrying about losing paper tickets!
