We’re delighted to announce that, thanks to our partnership with Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), the free 41 bus is returning from Monday 3rd August for one-year.
Many of you will remember the mini trial we ran last year. The response was fantastic, and when it ended we received so many requests asking us to bring it back. Well… we’ve listened!
Travel between Manchester Victoria and campus – for free
The 41 bus can be used for free between these stops.
- Manchester Victoria → Campus
Catch the bus from Corporation Street (Bus Stop MANDJMTP).
- Campus → Manchester Victoria
Catch the bus from outside the Students’ Union (Bus Stop MANGTMJA).
The offer is available to:
- All University of Manchester students
- All University of Manchester staff
- All Students’ Union staff
Simply show your University of Manchester or Student Union Staff ID to the driver when you board.
Why are we doing this?
We’re committed to making it easier, cheaper and more sustainable to travel to campus.
Every journey switched from car to public transport, walking, wheeling or cycling helps reduce carbon emissions, improve local air quality and support our commitment to a more sustainable University.
We also know that the cost of living continues to affect many of our colleagues and students. That’s why, alongside the existing free 147 bus between Manchester Piccadilly and campus, we’re pleased to be bringing back the free 41 bus – helping you save up to £4 a day on a return journey.
Help us keep it!
The free 41 bus is funded as a one-year trial. If enough people use it, we’ll have a much stronger case for extending the scheme beyond the first year.
So, if you’re travelling between Manchester Victoria and campus, why not give it a try?
We look forward to seeing you on board!
