A pay-as-you-go travel smartcard used by commuters in Gedling borough has broken through the £1 million sales mark just a year after launch.
Over 20,000 Robin Hood pay-as-you-go smartcards are now in circulation which allow cheaper travel on Nottingham’s trains and trams.
The cards have proved popular across Gedling borough since machines were installed in Arnold, Carlton and Netherfield.
Councillor Nick McDonald, portfolio holder for Business, Growth and Transport at Nottingham City Council, said he was delighted by recent sales figures.
