Bike
You can find excellent deals on brand new or second-hand bikes online on Gumtree. With Gumtree, you can pay only on collection and in cash. So do not feel the need to advance any money to any seller even if they demand this.
If interested in renting one, you may want to consider Saddles & Paddles in the city centre.
Bus
Stagecoach is the main operator and you can view the timetable and plan your journey via the Stagecoach app. If you think you may require regular use of the bus service, you may want to consider investing in a Termrider which will give you unlimited travel.

Can I get Student Discounts on Rail Travel?
Access to the wider UK is served by an extensive rail network from two train stations: Exeter Central and Exeter St David’s. We highly recommend you apply for the 16-25 Railcard which saves you 1/3rd off the price of any rail ticket. If you are older than 25, do not worry. You can apply as a mature student. It costs only £30 for the whole year and is renewable if you are staying beyond a year. You can apply here.
Where can I buy train tickets?
Once you have got your Railcard, we recommend you use the Trainline ticketing platform to buy your ticket. You can download the app here and not only get tickets but also check timetables and updates.
REMEMBER!!! Before checking-out, make sure you include yourRailcard in order for your 1/3rd discount to be applied. Also remember to carry your Railcard with you (whether physical or digital) as it will be checked on the train by the train conductor.
