Compass Travel Expands CityBuzz Services Across Brighton & Hove

Compass Travel is proud to announce the expansion of its CityBuzz family of services in the Brighton & Hove area, having taken on operation of routes 16, 47, and 52. This move builds on the company’s successful CityBuzz Brighton routes and strengthens its commitment to connecting communities throughout the city and surrounding areas.

The newly added routes serve key neighbourhoods including Hangleton, Saltdean, Portslade, Ovingdean, Patcham, and Woodingdean—ensuring continued access to vital public transport for residents.

“We are delighted to welcome new passengers aboard as we continue to provide the reliable, friendly service Compass Travel is known for,” Chris Chatfield, Managing Director of Compass Travel, “We’re committed to making sure our passengers experience comfort, convenience, and consistency on these new routes.”

As part of this service enhancement, Compass Travel is rolling out a fleet of brand-new, environmentally friendly Euro 6 vehicles across all three new routes. These modern buses are set to be in service by the end of July 2025 and will offer bespoke seating for improved comfort, enhanced passenger lighting, USB charging points at every seat, advanced passenger information systems to support those with additional needs.

The new vehicles also feature low-emission diesel engines with start/stop technology—part of Compass Travel’s broader mission to reduce its environmental impact.
