Nottingham City Transport has announced it is increasing some Easyrider Everyday fares from Monday (February 28).
Easyrider Everyday is a consecutive days travel card for frequent bus users and is said to be the cheapest way to travel on NCT.
From Monday, the Easyrider Everyday 7 day and 31 day passes will increase for adults, students and under 19s.
These are the first price rises to Easyrider in just under three years and are necessary to reflect increases in operating costs.

“This is the first time Easyrider prices have increased since March 2019. Nottingham City Transport is dedicated to providing safe and cost effective bus travel for Nottingham.
“Our Easyrider smartcards remain the best way to help customers save money whilst enjoying unlimited, all day travel across our entire network”.
