The South East is served by a patchwork of operators: Stagecoach in Kent, Hampshire and Oxfordshire, Brighton & Hove and Metrobus along the Sussex coast, Arriva in Kent and the Medway towns, Go South Coast's Bluestar and morebus, Reading Buses and the Oxford Bus Company.
Getting around by bus
Brighton, Oxford and Reading have some of the most frequent city networks outside London. Coastal routes such as the Coaster between Brighton and Eastbourne are useful for days out, and most operators accept contactless with a daily cap.
