FAQs
How much will it cost?
50p per journey, each way. This remains almost half the price of using public transport. All payments will be made via card (Apple Pay/ phone payments will also be accepted) on boarding.
What happens if a student successfully applies for the travel element of bursary?
Students awarded the travel element of bursary will be offered an M Card. However, students in receipt of travel bursary will also be provided with free use of the HNC shuttle in addition to being able to access a M Card.
Will students be guaranteed a space on the shuttle bus?
Spaces on the HNC shuttle will be on a first come, first served basis. However, services are highly regular during peak times so if a bus is full another one will be along shortly. They will also run at a number of points throughout the day – meaning that an added benefit is that students will have greater flexibility with when they arrive and depart College.
Will the HNC shuttle accept members of the public?
No, it will be solely dedicated for HNC students and staff and a membership badge will have to be shown in order to board.
