The buses will run every 30 minutes from 5:30am until midnight on weekdays with similar times on Saturdays. Its Sunday times are, however, reduced and will only run every hour from 7am until midnight.

The 500 departs from Anchor Springs, Littlehampton, and ends at the Bus Station in Chichester. It runs via Yapton, Barnham, Fontwell, Tangmere, and the outskirts of Chichester but avoids Bognor Regis and Felpham. Its journeys take approximately 45 minutes, according to Google Maps.

The service is run by Stagecoach and was launched in partnership with the County Council. It was launched to make travelling by bus easier for all.
