Nottinghamshire's transport chief hopes that an on demand bus service will be expanded to areas across the county following a trial in dozens of villages. 'Nottsbus On Demand' allows passengers to select a pick-up and drop-off point before being matched up with the nearest bus.
It does not follow a fixed route or timetable, with buses instead travelling anywhere within specific operating zones. The service has been running on a trial basis in areas of Ollerton and Mansfield since September.
Councillor Neil Clarke, the cabinet member for transport and environment at Nottinghamshire County Council, said he now wants to see the on demand service in other areas. He said: "The early signs are that since it was introduced four months ago, the feedback has been excellent and the service is being very well used.
