It could help a lot of passengers
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.
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“I really hope other people take the opportunity to take the bus and save themselves money.
“I think once more students are aware of the price, they’ll consider taking the bus because it’s a much cheaper option to things like Uber.” All adult, under-19 and student single fares which are already £2 or less, £4.70 day tickets and all other tickets, such as Easyrider and longer term mobile tickets, remain at their normal prices.
