FAMILIES across Leicester can enjoy unlimited bus travel for just £6.40 a day at weekends this September, as Leicester Buses launches a special offer to celebrate Catch the Bus Month.
For the whole of September, the Family Flexi Day ticket (2 adults and up to 3 children) will be available at a discounted price of £6.40 on Saturdays and Sundays, making it even easier and more affordable to enjoy days out together by bus!
The ticket can be used across participating Leicester Buses operators, so families aren't restricted to travelling with just one bus company and can change between operators as part of their journey.
The special offer is part of Leicester Buses' support for Catch the Bus Month, the annual campaign encouraging people to choose the bus more often and discover the benefits of public transport.
Councillor Geoff Whittle, Assistant City Mayor (Environment & Transport), said
“At just £6.40 a day for the family on weekends in September, this is a fantastic value way to get out and about together. Whether you're heading into the city centre, visiting friends and family or planning a day out, we'd love people to leave the car at home and catch the bus instead.
We've made huge improvements to Leicester's bus network over recent years and Catch the Bus Month is a great opportunity for people who haven't travelled on Leicester Buses for a while to come back and see what's changed.”
Leicester Buses brings together the city's bus operators and Leicester City Council to create One Network that is electric, frequent, reliable, easy and great value.
Making fares simpler and more affordable is a key part of that work. Leicester has moved towards an all-operator Flexi range, with passengers able to use more than one participating operator without the financial penalty of buying separate operator tickets.
The £6.40 Family Flexi Day Ticket reduced-price weekend offer will be available every Saturday and Sunday throughout September 2026. The ticket allows up to 2 adults and 3 children (up to the age of 16), unlimited day travel anywhere in the Flexi Area for only £6.40 during September Saturdays and Sundays and £10 at all other times.
