How the Travel Pass scheme works

If you meet the above criteria you will be sent information on the travel scheme over the summer, this comes out as an email to both the applying student and the first next of kin. Your email will contain instructions on what to do next, and a personal travel reference. Please make sure you keep your unique code in a safe place as you will need to enter it along with your postcode when ordering your travel pass online.

If you are interested in the subsidised travel schemes, satisfy the above criteria and have not heard from us by the end of August please contact the Exeter College Travel Team on 01392 400100. While our subsidised travel scheme helps over two-thousand Exeter College students get to and from college every year, please note that students/guardians are under no obligation to purchase a travel pass should they wish to make their own transport arrangements.

Please ensure you have your college ID on you when collecting your Travel Pass.

What travel passes are available and how much do they cost?

The Exeter College travel scheme offers subsidised travel by either bus or rail. If you choose the Exeter College Travel Pass you have the following options to choose from.

1. Travel by Stagecoach Bus

Exeter College has partnered with Stagecoach to provide subsidised bus travel for eligible Exeter College students. Students who meet the above criteria are entitled to purchase a Stagecoach Termrider at a significantly reduced rate.

A Stagecoach Termrider allows for unrestricted travel on Stagecoach services within a designated area of Devon for the entire college term, including weekends and holidays*. The price of your ticket depends on which of three zones you’re travelling within. The zone your ticket covers will be assigned based on your post code. The boundaries of these zones can be found here: www.stagecoachbus.com/promos-and-offers/south-west/termrider

Below are the prices for each zone, for the academic year 2022/23, with and without the Exeter College subsidy:

2	Termrider Plus	£277	£235.45
3	Termrider Gold	£379	£250

Please note that Termriders are issued on a StagecoachSmart travel card, which you will be required to order for an additional fee of £1. To order your subsidised Termrider, click here.
