muddycoffee   10 #5 Posted January 15, 2012 To use it for free you must present your Sheffield Teaching Hospitals Staff pass or your Sheffield University Pass. Otherwise members of the public can pay to use it. Takes around 25 minutes from the Northern to the Hallamshire and the same back again during the middle of the day when the traffic is not too bad.

Sunshine90   10 #7 Posted January 16, 2012 I think if you have a pensioners bus pass it is free otherwise without an STH ID badge it will cost £1. Unless they have raised the price as i see earlier someone said £2. Last time i got on it people were paying £1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Archi3 Â Â 10 #8 Posted January 16, 2012 I have found it not very reliable, especially when people are starting and finishing work. It has driven past my stop in Hillsborough many times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

tabbicat84 Â Â 10 #12 Posted January 25, 2012 Are you sure it's free for all university students? I read elsewhere that it's only for medical students. The university ID card has your department on it, so I guess they can check. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
