Get Around On Nottingham’s Buses For £2

Until December 2024, a single fare on all buses in Nottingham will cost just £2.

Bus operators in Nottingham are introducing a £2 single fare on services, thanks to the Government’s   Help for Households campaign . Bus operators in Nottingham are taking part in the scheme including:

  • Nottingham City Transport
  • Trentbarton

The scheme hopes to help families save money during cost of living pressures and encourage people to swap their cars for bus journeys. During the campaign, it’s hoped that millions of cars will be taken off the road . This will reduce carbon emissions whilst encouraging greater bus use to help the bus industry in its continued efforts to recover from the pandemic.

Which routes are included?

All local bus routes operating in Nottingham are included in the scheme. This includes services that cross over into neighbouring Nottinghamshire and Derby areas. Services excluded from the scheme include Trentbarton’s Red Arrow service and dedicated school services.

Do I have to use cash to benefit from the discounted single fare?

No, you don’t have to use cash. Whilst cash will be accepted for the £2 single fare, the discounted ticket will also be available on contactless,  Robin Hood Pay-As-You-Go  cards, and on operator mobile apps (such as the NCTX Buses app or the mango app).

If you are using cash, just ask the driver for the £2 adult single. And remember, the exact fare will be needed.

How do I get the £2 single fare using contactless?

If you usually use your credit or debit card to travel on Nottingham’s buses, you don’t need to do anything. Just tap your card or device onto the reader and the system will automatically offer you the correct fare.

How do I get the £2 single fare using Robin Hood Pay-As-You-Go?

If you usually use  Robin Hood Pay-As-You-Go  travel on Nottingham’s buses, you don’t need to do anything. Tap your card onto the reader when you board the bus and the system will automatically offer you the correct fare. You can get two single trips for £2 each.

Free bus pass changes: How to check eligibility and when to expect changes

Different rules apply to different areas of the uk.

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info

In England you can get a free bus pass when you reach the state pension age but with proposals to increase the age limit at which you can claim your pension, what does that mean for bus pass eligibility?

Different rules apply to different areas of the UK.

For instance, in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland you are able to apply from the age of 60. In England, however, it is aligned with the age for a state pension, so this could also mean the age for travel discounts could increase, according to the Mirror .

How to check if you are eligible for a free bus pass

To work out if you are eligible for a free bus pass in England, first of all you must have reached the national retirement age.

The best way to find out if you are eligible is to check locally and there are easy ways to do that.

Nottinghamshire County Council, for instance, allows you to apply, renew and check eligibility via its website , similarly, Nottingham City Council allows you to apply online as do other Nottinghamshire councils. Follow this link to the Government site for information on getting your bus pass and details of which local authority you need to apply based on your postcode.

Information is available whether you can get a pass, whether it is possible to get one sooner, and the details for your local area and any specific rules there.

Is the free bus pass eligibility criteria changing for pensioners?

Those eligible to draw a state pension should also be able to get a free bus pass in their local area.

The Government is currently on course to increase the state pension age from 66 to 67 between the years of 2026 and 2028.

A further increase is expected in 2048, which is expected to see the national retirement age go up to 68.

This could still change with Government policy and if data regarding life expectancy changes at all.

How to apply for a free bus pass and travel as a pensioner

The same Government tool that helps you navigate whether or not you are eligible for the pass will also help you apply by directing you to the right authority for your pass. You can apply for the discount scheme on the Government website.

State pension claimants can enter their postcode online to be provided with contact details for their local council.

Local council procedures can change when it comes to administering free passes if local authorities are contacted instead.

Extra benefits beyond just the standard state pension are important for the lives of pensioners across the country.

Group Communications Director at Just Group, Stephen Lowe, said: “The social and cultural reference to ‘freebie’ benefits means nearly all over 65s know about them but their financial value is dwarfed by other benefits which are less well known.

“The state pension alone will not provide a comfortable standard of living so checking your entitlement for other state benefits should be as much a part of planning for retirement as understanding what your private pension and other savings will provide.”
