Nottingham has announced the rollout of the first Oyster-style contactless ticketing system in the country outside of London. The change is now in operation from Monday, April 11.
The new Nottingham Contactless multi-operator Tap & Go option is available across Nottingham City Transport buses, NET trams and Linkbuses, which are operated by CT4N. It allows people to tap on with contactless bank cards or phones throughout the day and pay one daily charge capped at the best fare for their travel, regardless of which of the three operators they use or however many journeys they make on the day.
Passengers can still pay for single fares in the contactless method. But if they make multiple journeys across NCT, NET and Linkbuses, they will be charged £5.60 for the day capped fare.
