Bus company First Bus have scrapped all the fares from a total of 11 bus routes across North Somerset for one day only, and are inviting people to take advantage by exploring the area near Bristol.
Seven of the 11 bus routes go into and out of Bristol, giving people in the city the chance to head to the countryside or the beach for absolutely nothing all day on Tuesday, July 26.
The initiative is being run by First Bus West of England and begins at 4.30am on Tuesday morning, until the last bus of the day.

The seven bus routes from Bristol into North Somerset that are included in the initiative are the 'X' routes that go from Bristol Bus Station, out along Anchor Road and into North Somerset via Ashton Gate.
They are: the X1 to Weston-super-Mare, the X2 to Yatton, the X4 to Portishead, the X5 to Weston-super-Mare, the X6 and X7 which run to Clevedon and the X9 to Nailsea.
From there, other routes in and around North Somerset will also be free: the number 3 bus between Worle and Searle Crescent in Weston-super-Mare, the number 7 from Worle to Haywood Village, the number 51 from Weston to Wrington and the 126 which runs from Weston-super-Mare to Wells, via Locking, Axbridge, Sandford and Cheddar.
"Play some arcade games on the Grand Pier in Weston, take the 126 to Wells and explore the Bishops Palace, or maybe a dip in the Clevedon Marine Lake - the choice is yours," said a spokesperson for First Bus.
"We're offering you the chance to explore our North Somerset services for Free on Tuesday 26 July. Just turn up and hop on any service (excluding service 1, 20 and A3) and travel for free between 4.30am till the last bus of the day. No voucher or special code word needed - it's really that simple!" they added.
