HOW YOUR PASS WORKS:

How It Works: It’s simple. 1) Book your East Coast Bus Pass and choose your duration. 2) Your pass activates on the day you take your first bus journey. 3) From that day, your pass is valid for the full number of days you selected. 4) Travel an unlimited number of times, in any direction, for the entire duration of your pass. When your days are up, your pass simply expires — and if you’re not ready to stop, you can extend it.

Choose Your Own Pass Duration: Whether you are travelling for weeks or months, choose an East Coast Bus Pass duration to suit your travel period. Choose anywhere between 15 and 60 days.
