Buses in and around St Andrews
Why travel by bus?
There are many reasons why travelling by bus is great. We have provided just a few:
Taking the bus is a relatively cheap mode of travel, especially for longer journeys. You don’t need to worry about road tax, insurance, maintenance and MOT costs. Also, if you’re a regular commuter, can usually get discounted tickets for travelling frequently.
You can take time to let your mind wander, rather than having to concentrate on the road ahead.
You can go out for a night on the town or a trip to the pub without having to be the ‘designated driver’.
You can be a planet superhero! One bus carries the same number of people as 30 cars and uses 10 times less space. It uses less fossil fuel, too. Why not find out just how many kettles you could boil through this handy travel carbon calculator.
Save the hassle of heating up your windscreen and clearing off the ice in winter. It is also one less thing you need to worry about cleaning on the weekend.
Make new friends! Taking the bus can foster a sense of community, especially for regular travellers. Say hello to that familiar face on the bus!
Most bus services in and around the town are operated by Stagecoach and serve the bus station in the centre of town. Tickets can be purchased from the Ticket Office in the station, from the driver by cash or contactless card or via the Stagecoach mobile app.
