Public Transport

Once you've arrived, you'll find that the transport links in Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire are just as efficient as the ones which brought you here.

First Group, an international rail and bus company with its headquarters in Aberdeen, operate a high frequency network of services across the city while Stagecoach Bluebird's buses link the towns and villages in Aberdeenshire.

Grasshopper passes are available in partnership with Aberdeenshire Council, Stagecoach and FirstBus.

Please note this pass is best used when hopping on and off the bus within a zone, and single destination tickets may sometimes be a cheaper option.

Starting Saturday, 16 November 2024, until Sunday, 5 January 2025, First Bus will operate free night buses across 10 routes from the city centre on weekends. The services covered are:

  • N1, city centre – Dubford/Ashwood/Danestone, via King Street
