    • Certain areas of Plymouth

    • Looe
    • Liskeard and Saltash
  • FREE College shuttle bus between Plymouth city centre, Kings Road and Goschen (Citybus number 36) and other parallel service 21/21a.

You may be able to receive support for transport if you are aged 16 and over on a government funded FE course and from a low income household via our Discretionary Learner Support Scheme (certain criteria apply). For further information and an application form please contact the Student Funding team on 01752 305381/305110 or e-mail your query to studentfunding@cityplym.ac.uk.

There may still be some support for students where houshold income is higher.

If a student is unhappy with a bus service listed above which is in conjunction with the College, a student can complete a bus complaint form and return to the Student Funding team who will forward the complaint to the relevant bus company on their behalf.

A copy of the bus complaint form can either be downloaded from the Student Intranet or a paper copy can be obtained from the Student Funding office.

Full-time students aged under 23 may be able to request child fare on all Plymouth Citybus routes.  This is ultimately at the discretion of the driver who may require ID to be shown.

For more information please refer to the 'Money while you Learn' Guide.
