Key card SAVER tickets have two travel zones.
The map details the citySAVER ticket zone (teal area) and the networkSAVER ticket zone (teal and green area) Please make sure that you purchase the correct SAVER ticket for the area in which you wish to travel.
The citySAVER zone covers most of the urban area around the city of Brighton & Hove. The boundaries of the zone are Shoreham-by-Sea to the west, Devil's Dyke/Patcham (A27)/Ditchling Beacon to the north, Falmer Village to the northeast, and Saltdean (Bannings Vale Stops) to the east. Please note the citySAVER tickets are not valid on N-prefixed night bus services.
If you make journeys outside of the citySAVER zone, or plan to use a night bus service, then our networkSAVER zone is likely to be the one for you. This zone covers all bus routes on our network and can be used on night buses.
