Free travel will be available for military personnel on Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day.
Stagecoach South has said the offer is available to those serving in the military, cadets and veterans.
This includes any serving military or cadet in uniform, those with a military ID card and veterans wearing medals or badges who are attending remembrance services.
As a further tribute to the Armed Forces, some Stagecoach South fleets will be decorated with poppy graphics and the destination screens will display messages of support.

Marc Reddy, managing director of Stagecoach South, said: "Remembrance Day and the Poppy Appeal are causes close to the hearts of many of our colleagues and customers and we are very pleased to be making this commitment that will hopefully help people attend memorials across the UK."
Stagecoach has been a member of the Armed Forces Covenant since March 2015 and is a Gold employee award holder as part of The Defence Employer Recognition Scheme.
Mr Reddy added: "We have thousands of ex-forces colleagues working across our business, and our Veterans Network allows us to build on the work Stagecoach has led over many years to identify how else we can support those veterans already working for us and those that may want to come and join the company."
Stagecoach’s dedication to offering free travel for the Armed Forces is supported by its employee-led Veterans Network.
This network was established to unite Stagecoach employees, giving them a platform to drive positive change, raise awareness, shape business decisions and implement new initiatives that enhance the company.
