Bus passengers in Gedling borough can now pay for their travel using their smartphone thanks to improvements to their popular app.

Nottingham City Transport has introduced mobile ticketing technology which means customers will be able to purchase tickets securely with Apple Pay or their debit or credit card and then just show their mobile ticket to the driver when boarding – no more searching for cash or the exact money.

NCT Marketing Manager, Anthony Carver-Smith said: “Our existing app has proven to be hugely popular since its launch and it’s been downloaded over 50,000 times

“We’ve listened to our customers about how we can improve the app, and we’re confident the new features – including mobile ticketing – and the features we’ve upgraded, have made it even more user-friendly.”

As well as the simplicity of the mobile ticketing, NCT’s app offers easy journey planning, live departure boards and disruptions information.

Passengers will be able to browse and view bus stops on the map, find out upcoming departures, or check out the routes from a stop to see where they could travel next.

 

An Apple and Android watch version of the app is also released where customers can find stops closest to them, and look up departures from their favourite stops on their smart watches.

To celebrate the launch of the new and improved app, Nottingham City Transport is offering a 24-hour ticket for only £3.50 in Nottingham or £7.00 covering the entire NCT network, for unlimited use on NCT buses for 24 hours.

These are different to existing tickets as they are 24 consecutive hours, rather than expiring at the end of service. There’s also a 5 day (120 hour) ticket on offer for only £15 in Nottingham and £20 across the entire network.
