To mark World Car Free Day on September 22, passengers can travel on the Brighton & Hove bus routes 77, 78 and 79 for free on Saturday (September 18).

These routes run from the city centre to Devil’s Dyke, Stanmer Park and Ditchling Beacon – the highest point in East Sussex.

The offer is being run in partnership with Brighton & Hove City Council to promote the importance of active and inclusive travel.

Brighton & Hove Buses managing director Martin Harris said, “Going up to the Downs and out into the countryside is a great thing to do and it’s so quick and easy by bus from the city.

“Our Breeze buses mean you don’t need a car to get to some of Sussex’s best beauty spots. It is also the kindest way to travel for the environment every day, not just Car Free Day.”
