Take the bus for FREE on Thursday 18 June for Clean Air Day. Services will be free across all First Bus and Stagecoach services, as well as Pompey Link, if you're boarding anywhere in the Portsmouth boundary.

If you don’t usually travel by bus, this is a great chance to give it a try - whether it’s the school run, the journey to work, or a trip across the city.

Bus services in Portsmouth have improved over the past few years, with more frequent and reliable routes, better waiting areas and more accessible vehicles. More people are already making the switch, with over one million bus journeys taking place in the city every month. On 18 June, you can see for yourself how easy it is.
