Improvements to bus services in Lambley, Calverton and Woodborough come into effect from September.
Residents in these villages will be served by new Sky Blue 61, providing a regular 30 minute Monday to Saturday daytime service to Mapperley and Nottingham.
The new 61 will also serve Calverton, following discussions with Nottinghamshire County Council, and customer requests for improved daily links between Lambley and Woodborough with Calverton.
To maintain sequential numbers between Mapperley and City, existing Sky Blue Line 45 will be renumbered 60.
The network improvements come into force from Sunday, September 1
NCT managing director David Astill, said: “Passenger numbers have bounced back to levels similar to pre-pandemic, and we are pleased to announce these further improvements which we hope will maintain the momentum in ridership growth that has occurred over the last three years.
“With these enhancements to the Mapperley services, we are again able to offer ‘turn up & go’ frequencies which we know our customers love.
“Our fantastic team of drivers on these routes look forward to welcoming aboard many new faces as well as our valued and familiar ones“
