Nottingham City Transport will be increasing some fares from Sunday 29 March 2020.
Single fares on the bus, NCTX Buses app and Robin Hood Pay As You Go will increase by 10p for adults and under 19s and the adult day ticket will increase by 20p to £4.40.
The Inner City Return will increase to £3.00 and will be available to buy on the bus only, due to fraudulent use when purchased through the NCTX Buses app.
The Short Hop will no longer be available to buy through the app for the same reason.
The Under 19 all-day ticket, Grouprider, Network Rider, Park & Ride Return fare, Nightbus fares and all Outer Area fares will all be frozen at their current prices.
New prices in the Nottingham City Area will be:
Adults who travel with an Easyrider Everyday smart card will see the price of one and two-week passes frozen at £18 and £35 respectively. The one month pass will increase by £2 – or 50p per week – to £60, with a 5% saving maintained for those who renew by Direct Debit (£57). 3 month, 6 month and annual passes will rise by 2-3%.
The most popular Easyrider Everyday smart cards purchased by Under 19s – one week, two-week and one month – are frozen at their current prices. The 3 month, 6 month and annual passes will rise by 2-3%.
The Easyrider Anyday smart card – where customers can bulk buy days of individual travel – will all increase by 5%.
nthony Carver-Smith, NCT’s Marketing Manager commented, “With our annual price review, we have frozen the cost of some of the most popular tickets and passes, whilst keeping increases on single tickets to 10p and adult day tickets to only 20p. Increases will never be popular or welcome, but the increases are necessary to cover rises in our day to day operating costs and our investment in 77 brand new, low emission buses introduced over the last year, which significantly improve local air quality”
