Travel to College with a Weston College-supported First Bus pass, valid 7 days a week across the West of England – giving you greater flexibility to use your pass outside of your normal College timetable. 

For 2026/27, following student feedback, the College subsidy is based on the distance you travel from your registered home address to your College campus. The further you travel, the greater the College subsidy.

Pass prices vary by term, depending on the number of travel days included.  

The Autumn Term pass costs more because it covers more travel days. The cost reduces in the Spring and Summer Terms to reflect the number of days included in each pass. To clarify, the 26/27 Autumn term consists of teaching days spread over 15 teaching weeks, compared to the summer term, which is spread over 10 teaching weeks.
