£3 Bus Fare Cap Scheme 2025

From the 1st January 2025, the National Bus Fare Cap will be increased to £3 per journey. 

Given that the majority of our services operate within the Greater Nottingham area, CT4N will charge no more than £3 per journey, which would have been the fare charged had the Bus Fare Cap Scheme not been in place.

Services operating outside of the Greater Nottingham area which include (18/18x in Stapleford, 29 in Long Eaton, New Sawley & Sandiacre, 66 in Sutton Bonington and Loughborough, 300 between Lowdham and Newark) - These fares will also be charged at £3 per journey.
