Nottingham City Transport has announced bus fares are going up. The increased fares will come into effect from Sunday (August 28).
The bus company said the rise came after an increase in operating costs. NCT officials said fuel and staffing costs were to blame, highlighting diesel was costing the company 50 percent more and gas prices had doubled.
NCT also say driver pay rates have increased by 8.5-9.5 percent this year in response to the national shortage of bus drivers. It now means that bus users will pay £2.50 for an adult single and £1.50 for an under 19 single.
