Travelling by Bus
Travelling by bus is a great way to access Etihad Campus. Not only does it allow you to travel with a large group of family and friends, but it is more sustainable than driving on your own.
There are a range of options for fans travelling by bus. Fans can:
- Use one of the Club’s 15 buses operating as part of the Matchday Bus Network, covering 64 stops.
- Board several Bee Network services operating near the stadium
- · Pay for a private bus hire
Matchday Bus Network
In total, the bus network sees 15 different routes operating across 64 stops, covering a combined total of more than 340 miles for Men’s Home Matches.
These routes have been carefully selected following a detailed analysis of fan data which identified areas with limited existing travel options, or those with a dense population of Season Ticket Members.
Detailed information about the stops can be found on TfGM’s website, but below is a map outlining the different routes:
All of the buses in use are fully accessible for wheelchair users and have low floors to make it easier for fans who use wheelchairs, mobility scooters or those with small children and pushchairs.
Adults will pay £6 for a return ticket from Zone 1, and £8 for a return from Zone 2. Single tickets cost £3 and £4 respectively.
Under-16 tickets are priced at half of an adult ticket, while children under the age of five can now travel for free.
Older people and those with disabilities will be eligible to travel for free provided they are in possession of a National Concessionary Travel Pass.
Tickets cannot be pre-booked, meaning they must be purchased on the bus via card or cash payments.
