Bluestar started life under the Solent Blue Line name, as a subsidiary of Southern Vectis, in 1987. With its striking yellow and blue colour scheme, it offered the people of Southampton a fresh and new alternative in bus travel. They’ve changed a lot since then as they keep on evolving.
Their current network of bus services makes Bluestar the
main inter-urban bus operator in Southern Hampshire.
They continually invest in their buses and technology. From the latest modern fleet to offering their customers enhancements like free wifi and USB chargers so they can make the most of their journey time with us. Their buses, with their striking star design, are easy to spot - and they certainly stand out amongst the crowd.
Their investment in off-bus ticketing technology makes bus travel available to buy online from the comfort of an armchair with their smartcard the key. Tickets can also be bought instantly through their mobile app.
Their strong relationship with the University of Southampton means they can offer joint-ticketing across their Unilink and Bluestar networks -giving all their customers a much wider choice.
