Nottinghamshire County Council extends government £2 bus fare cap until late October

Passengers travelling on bus services across Nottinghamshire will continue to enjoy the government’s £2 bus fare cap until October.

Nottingham City Transport has announced to be participating in the extension of the bus fare cap.

A single bus journey will continue to cost no more than £2 on most routes across the country, including those operated by Nottinghamshire County Council.

The fare cap is part of the government’s Help For Households scheme aimed at tackling the cost of living in England.

David Astill, Nottingham City Transport managing director said: “As the difficult years of the lockdown get further away, we hope that our customers will take advantage of this heavily discounted fare as they return to more frequent journeys by bus for work, education, leisure and pleasure.”

The extended £2 bus fare cap will be implemented across all Nottingham City Transport routes, ensuring that passengers can travel at an affordable rate.

Customers travelling on the company’s longer-distance routes such as Southwell, Loughborough and Lambley/Woodborough can also take advantage of the scheme.
