Nottingham has been named top city in the UK for bus passenger satisfaction according to a major survey conducted by Transport Focus. The independent organisation completed extensive surveys in the 34 Local Bus Partnership areas to ask passengers their thoughts on wait times, bus drivers, value for money and overall satisfaction. Nottingham ranked as the best city, with an overall approval rating of 87%. More here. [ [link removed] ]

New Under 22s offer on buses and trams
22

Nottingham and Nottinghamshire's young people’s ticket offer has been expanded, with Robin Hood 19-21 prices now available to buy as Pay-As-You-Go passes.

Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council are working in partnership to deliver Nottinghamshire U22, a new ticketing price point on buses and trams across the county offering student prices to all under 22-year-olds. The scheme aims to support all young people by improving access to travel for work, leisure and study.

Funding was secured by a bid from both councils to the Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) – a grant from central government to improve bus services across the city region. Robin Hood 19-21 prices are now available to buy as Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) passes at travel centres, via the Robin Hood Ticketing App and at tram stop machines. [ [link removed] ]

Bulwell Bus Station will be closed from Tuesday 2 - Friday 5 April, reopening on Saturday 6 April while we do some work to surfacing works to the road surfaces, as well as other sorting out other snagging issues.

During the closure the buses that usually serve the bus station will use alternative stops on their route. Please check with your operator to see where to catch your service during the works. 

We apologise for any inconvenience caused to your journey during these works - we've scheduled them during the Easter school holidays so as to hopefully minimise the disruption caused.

Happy Birthday to our trams! ????

birthday

The city celebrated two decades of our modern tram system on Saturday 9 March, as a new survey revealed that 92% of local people would recommend the tram system.  [ [link removed] ]

NET are celebrating the milestone with acts of kindness and treats for local charities and passengers. It's also not too late to get a belated birthday gift if you share a birthday (9 March 2004) with the tram.  [ [link removed] ]

Nottingham City Council's first woman leader, Betty Higgins was instrumental in setting out the vision for bringing trams back to our city streets. 

Twenty years later, after facing some challenges including the pandemic and skyrocketing electricity prices, the tram is back on track and en route to a sustainable future getting us around in a green and convenient way.

Electric Vehicle charge points survey ??
EV Charging

In collaboration with Midlands Connect and other Midlands Councils, we have successfully been awarded £1.7m of the Government’s Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund.

This funding will help Nottingham City Council to install more electric vehicle (EV) charge points in neighbourhoods, closer to people’s homes to support residents with no off-street parking to charge their vehicles.

We’ve launched a survey for both current and future EV drivers to hear your views on where new electric vehicle charging points should be located and to understand how you currently use charging infrastructure.

Find out more information and take the survey here [ [link removed] ]

Robin Hood ticket machines to be switched off

ticket

Nottingham City Council will begin decommissioning the on-street Robin Hood Ticket machines from the start of April. [ [link removed] ]

In recent years upgrades were made to the Robin Hood Ticketing App allowing people to top-up on-the-go and since then there has been a significant decline in the use of the on-street machines. Machine usage dropped further following the introduction of Nottingham Contactless – which offers passengers more ways to pay for their travel. A decision was made following the council’s budget consultation to switch off the machines given the reduced usage and the range of alternative payment options available.
