The Night Bus

Getting home couldn't be simpler. 

With late-night services leaving Aberdeen city centre every Friday and Saturday, we’ve got your journey home sorted.

These five routes are here to stay for the next three years, thanks to funding from Aberdeen City Council through bus lane enforcement revenue. Our standard fares apply, and you can use your Under 22s National Entitlement Card on board.

So whether you're dancing ‘til late or grabbing a midnight bite, you can get back home safely - while giving a little love to local businesses too.
