University buses

We run 2 bus services to campus – the U1 takes a circular route around Portsmouth, and the U2 goes to the Langstone sports site and back – at certain times of year.

You'll need to show your University ID card to get on the bus. If the bus is full, you'll need to wait for the next one. No alcohol is allowed on the bus service.
