Employees may use the bus pass at any time as long as the majority of use is for travel to and from work. On Wednesday, Friday and Saturday during term time, the NIGHT BUS service runs from 9pm to 4am between Streatham Campus and the City Centre. This patented innovation is truly a class of its own, so be prepared to stand out from the crowd as unirider™ not only looks different, it also delivers a truly unique riding experience that develops balance and confidence for your child, as well as having fun while still keeping them at your fingertips. Staff can benefit from an additional switch discount by opting for a Unirider bus pass in 2023-24 if you had an annual parking permit during 2022-23. It is undeniable that the overall design of the unirider is innovative and it is certainly pleasing to the eye and fun looking for the children. Coming in one colour option of yellow, the unirider will suit both boys and girls. The high quality materials feel tough and durable and not in the slightest bit flimsy. Like many of the other products that Mountain Buggy produce, the unirider is certainly built to withstand a tough life at the hands of our children and the most rugged of lifestyles. Driveability & Rideability
For those coming from North and Mid Devon, several lines stop close to Streatham Campus along Cowley Bridge Rd and New North Rd: When your dare-devil passenger first begins to learn to ride the unirider, like any such toy (balance bike, bicycle, scooter), it will take a few practices to achieve complete confidence and balance. Travel is unlimited and at any time, whether you’re feeding your mind at the library or stuffing your face with mates, up early for seminars lectures or out socialising late with friends.
Working in partnership with Stagecoach
There are 30 uniriders to be won, so if you're 2-5 years of age, entry is easy, but you'll need your parent's help first! R&S routes runs every 30 minutes from Rifford Road - City Centre – St Luke’s - Thornpark Rise | Rifford Road. The unirider is easy to assemble and store and made of fabulous quality materials that can definitely handle whatever you may throw at it. The 1:1 time spent pushing and riding the unirider is valuable bonding time for parent and child to enjoy great fun and make brilliant memories. It gives a great opportunity for your child to develop their core whilst helping parents to stay fit and active also.
Use it to travel to a your part time job, an energising gym class out socialising or exploring a new area at the weekend - there are no usage limits, so you can use it as much or as little as you want. It is not to be sniffed at the fantastic positive attributes riding the unirider can give to your child's physical development. Developing core muscles as a child attributes to greater control in gross and fine motor skills, in turn leading children being able to handle small tools such as paint brushes and pencils with greater accuracy and strength as they grow and develop further. Riding the unirider is the perfect core workout for your little person - but take it steady, even though your child is resting their legs whilst on a unirider, it's quite a physical job for the passenger to keep their balance, especially if you are whizzing around at a jogging pace, your passenger might get tired! Travelling by bike is an alternative and there are many cycle lines around the University and Manchester. For all things bike related, find details here. If you would like to hire a bikedetails are available here. All local bus services from the University are operated by Stagecoach, with whom the University has developed a close working partnership. This partnership helps ensure the best possible service and support for students travelling to campus by bus. A prioritised campus-to-city bus service, new lower emission buses and discounted bus travel are just some of the benefits being realised through the partnership.
Always keen to excite and innovate, Mountain Buggy have already created the freerider ride on board which doubles up as a scooter. Now, a clever father from the UK has worked with Mountain Buggy to introduce us to possibly the most innovative ride on mode of transport ever created for toddlers. We've been putting smiles of freedom on our toddler's faces by using the unirider with a 2 year old and a 3 year old. Design As a one of the kind, brand new product to the market, it is hard to compare the design of the unirider to anything else out there. One thing is for sure, the design is innovative and takes a huge great big stride outside the box. The unirider arrives in a compact, neat little box and takes approximately three minutes to assemble. We built the unirider with the ‘help' of two very eager toddlers who were hankering after a turn on this incredible new mode of transport! The visual instructions are extremely easy to follow. The main body of the unirider consists of a 12" air filled wheel, surrounded by a hard and durable bright yellow seat unit. A Flexible Benefits scheme is now open for staff who have deferred their 2023-24 travel Flexible Benefit selection. From now until 31 July 2024, staff who have not yet made a Flexible Benefits selection of either a bus pass or parking permit can do so via our Travel Portal. Find out more about Flexible Benefits.
UniRiders are available termly or you can save money by purchasing a 2-Term or 3-Term Unirider. Annual UniRiders are also available. Between the hours of 1000 and 1600, Monday - Friday, members of staff can show their staff card on the Stagecoach UNI bus and receive free travel between campuses only.When tested with a younger passenger, at 2 years old, it was much easier to push although we did have to be careful around corners as the younger child did not seem to be able to find their balance quite so easily. A National Express card will get you 1/3 off every coach journey. See more information and prices here.
Getting the passengers on board was another practice, practice, practice situation. Before we started we popped helmets on the children, safety first, always. The H bus service connects: Digby - Pynes Hill - RD&E Hospital - St Luke's Campus - City Centre bus station, and both Exeter Central and Exeter St David's railway stations. A16-25 railcard will get you 1/3 off rail travel. See more details here. If you are a mature student you can still get 1/3 off with a rail card but you will need to complete a Mature Student Appication form and have it validated by the university. Please note, these discounts are only available when purchasing directly from the University and not from the Stagecoach Travelshop or online. General information
The seat of the unirider seems quite small but when tested with a leggy, 17kg, nearly 5 year old, he was able to sit comfortably on the seat and pop his legs in position on the footrests. Speaking of tiredness, the unirider is great for developing the driver's fitness also. If you aren't already used to giving your lungs, abs and arms a good workout then the unirider is a great way to do this! With a child of the highest weight limit taking a ride, the unirider can be quite a physical workout to push, especially if on grass or rough ground. Keeping the handlebar balanced takes some skill. We found the unirider fine to use in short bursts and even easier to use when a child at the lower end of the weight limit was riding. Once your child has got the hang of riding the unirider, it turns into a fun filled bonding experience for parent and child if you dare to try new things together such as going over tiny bumps and over rougher terrain.
