Bus passengers say they are 'thrilled' by a 'brilliant' £2 cap introduced on Nottinghamshire bus services. The maximum single fare for any journey has been capped at £2 across all NCT and Trentbarton bus services from January 2 to March thanks to the Government-funded Help for Households initiative.
These trips include NCT routes through to Loughborough, Southwell and Woodborough. The standard adult city area single will reduce from £2.50 to £2 and if you usually buy an all-day ticket, but only make two journeys a day, you can pay just £4 by paying for a single ticket on both buses you use.
Commuters in Nottingham thought the scheme was 'amazing', although some wished bus pass prices had also been cut. Annabel Pett, 53, a part-time accountant from West Bridgford, said: “I’m going on the bus today because of the cap - I think it’s a brilliant idea because I don’t have to pay for petrol or parking so I’m going to save a lot of money which is amazing in the cost-of-living crisis
