Welcome to Ulink
Extra buses from 12 October
We are providing extra services to address
capacity problems in the morning. For details of the additional services, see below.
Cash is history!
You are now able to use the Ulink smartcard to pay for individual bus tickets, just as if you
were using cash. Follow the following simple steps:
- Buy a new smartcard, or go to the Students' Union to have the top-up facility added to your existing smartcard.
You can pay from £10 to £40. Members of the public can obtain 'blank' cards for £1 from
Cartridge Right on Gloucester Rd
- Instead of paying the driver with cash, put your card on the reader and ask for a single or day-rider
ticket as normal
- The next time your card needs top-up, you can pay the driver £10 to add credit.
...and smartcards save you money
By using your smartcard, you will save time and money – tickets bought with a smartcard are cheaper than
those bought with cash.
