Nottingham’s public transport network is a great way of getting from A to B – by bus, tram or by train. With more priority bus lanes than ever before and NET Line 1’s direct route into the City Centre from North Nottingham, using public transport can help you and your colleagues to beat the traffic, saving time and money and taking the stress out of commuting. What’s more, using public transport instead of the car helps to protect the environment by reducing CO2 emissions, as well as cutting congestion and making it easier for everyone to get around.
Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire County Councils both have Beacon Status awards for transport delivery and accessibility, while bus providers NCT and trent barton have also won several national awards for their services. With such a great track record – and the highest level of bus usage outside of London – it’s easy to see why public transport is such a good option for travelling to and from the workplace in Greater Nottingham.
See our Services section for details of the public transport-related support that your business may be able to benefit from, including timetables supplied to your site, journey planning boards and much more…you may even be able to benefit from special ticketing deals, if a good proportion of your staff use bus or park and ride services.
www.travelineeastmidlands.co.uk is another useful resource for journey planning which you could link to directly from your company website.
Kangaroo Card
Kangaroos are really handy public transport tickets that let people hop and off buses, trams and trains in and around Nottingham throughout the day – and all for just £3.40. Their low cost and flexibility make Kangaroos the ideal option for people travelling to a number of different locations on the same day – so they’re great for meetings. Kangaroo cards can be bought in advance and your business can purchase tickets in bulk at £32 for each book of 10 tickets. Contact the City Council’s public transport team via Laraine Reckless to negotiate a bulk purchase deal for your organisation.
