Catch The Bus For Less This Summer With £2.50 Single Tickets

Nottingham City Transport is making bus travel cheaper this summer with a sale on Single Tickets — just £2.50 for an adult single, down from £3.

From 21st July to 31st August 2025 inclusive, any single journey on any NCT bus, across the entire network including the Outer Zone, will be at the special discounted rate of £2.50. Whether heading into town, out for lunch, or visiting family, it’s an easy way for people to save while they travel.

No discount codes or vouchers are needed to travel for less, customers just need to as normal with cash, contactless, or on the NCTX Buses app.

The £2.50 adult single fare means that making a return trip to town will cost just £5 instead of £5.50. Customers should buy a single ticket on both buses – or tap their contactless card when they board – to save money when they travel.

Anthony Carver-Smith, NCT Head of Marketing and Projects, said: “With so much happening throughout Nottingham this summer, what better way to get there than with NCT’s discounted summer single ticket. At just £2.50 per trip, NCT is offering the best value single ticket in Nottingham all summer long – let’s just hope the sunny days last as long too!”

Some Outer Zone Under 19 fares will also reduce to £2.50, and the 10 trip ticket in the NCTX Buses app will reduce from £27 to £25 throughout this period.

The NCTX Buses app and NCT website at www.nctx.co.uk are full of suggestions and places to visit, easily accessible by bus.
