Pass Types
Busabout offers 2 different types of passes for 2 different types of travellers, With Excellent Extras and Links available.

The Flexi Pass

The Flexi Pass is ideal for someone who has had a look at the Busabout network map and has a good idea where they want to go. Just count up the number or travelling days you plan to have on the coach and buy the Flexipass that most closely suits your itinerary.

OK, so now you want to know "what is a travelling day?" A travelling day is any time you get off at a Busabout pick-up/drop-of point to overnight; this includes all compulsory night stops.

Your Flexipass days are valid for the entire operating season giving you maximum flexibility (thus the clever name). Flexipasses are perfect for travellers who want to break away from the network and explore destinations like Greece or Morocco (see Excellent Extras). If you travelling on a Flexipass and realise you need an extra travel day, easy you can just buy an Extra Day from the guide on the bus.
