NX West Midlands Hero

Student bus pass

Unlimited travel across Coventry and the West Midlands

Taking the bus is easy, and long-term passes make it cheaper. Here are a few tips to help you choose the best option...

Bus routes across the West Midlands travel in and out of zones, the main one being the nBus zone. Depending on where you are travelling you might need a different zone ticket.

  • nBus tickets let you travel on National Express buses and any other bus operator that is part of the nBus scheme, within the nBus zone.
  • If you need to travel to areas outside of the nBus zone, such as Bedworth, Bromsgrove, Cannock, Coleshill, Kenilworth, and Leamington Spa, you’ll need to buy an NX Outer Zones ticket*.
  • If you are only travelling within Coventry and need to travel to Rugby, you'll need to buy an NX Coventry ticket.
  • You can use your ticket at any time including evenings, weekends & holidays.
  • Students will be required to carry either a physical student ID or show a valid Yoti digital ID on their phone at all times whilst travelling. Physical student ID can include a physical photo ID card or a TOTUM card.

*NX Outer Zones tickets are valid on National Express services in Staffordshire, Warwickshire & Worcestershire. They are also valid on National Express buses in the nBus zone.

Unlimited travel on all National Express buses and any other bus operator that is part of the nBus scheme, within the nBus zone.

  • You will be required to provide proof of being in full time education (12 or more hours per week) within 10 days of buying your ticket.
  • You may be asked for ID when travelling on our buses to prove your student status so you must carry student ID with you at all times. The easiest way to do this is to download the free Yoti app and create your digital student ID. You can use this in place of your physical ID or TOTUM card when travelling on our buses. For more information about Yoti, please see our FAQs here.
