Nottingham City Transport say their £2 bus fare cap will be extended again until the end of year

Great news for bus passengers in Notts!

Nottingham City Transport has confirmed bus fares will remain capped at £2 after the Government’s funding scheme was extended once again

Single fares will now continue to be capped at £2 until the end of 2024

Originally launched for 3 months in January 2023, the £2 fare cap has been extended a number of times, with the current funding for bus operators agreed and confirmed until the end of this month (June 2024).

The Department for Transport recently confirmed to bus operators their funding allocation for the remainder of the year, which enables many to continue participating in the scheme. 

David Astill, NCT Managing Director said, “As the better weather is now hopefully upon us, we would encourage those who perhaps don’t use buses regularly, to leave their car at home and take a journey into Nottingham City centre or other local destination at this discounted fare of just £2 for a single journey.

The £2 single fare is available to buy on the bus with Contactless Tap&Go payments or cash as well as on the NCTX Buses app and Robin Hood Pay As You Go cards.
