PlusBus
PlusBus, Britain's integrated
train and bus ticketing scheme, which makes it easier and cheaper
to travel by bus to and from the train station is
now operating in Peterborough.
Peterborough is one of the latest areas to
benefit from the initiative which is designed to reduce congestion
and pollution by encouraging drivers to leave their cars at home
and use the bus for journeys to and from the train station. It
allows you to buy tickets for your train journey and unlimited bus
travel around town in one simple transaction.
Plusbus is now available in more than 232 destinations,
including every rail-served town and city in Britain with a
population of more than 80,000. The PlusBus ticket is designed to
support Government policies on integration by making public
transport more accessible and simpler to use.
The scheme is run by Journey Solutions, a partnership of
Britain's bus and train operators.
How the scheme
works
The scheme means you can add unlimited bus travel around
Peterborough to the start, or if you are travelling to another
PlusBus area, to the end of your rail journey. It means you can get
to and from the train station by bus and travel as much as you like
around the area by bus as well. PlusBus offers virtually
door-to-door transport.
To take advantage of the ticket, you simply need to ask for
Peterborough PlusBus when they buy your train ticket at the station
or by phone.
Cost
PlusBus brings numerous benefits to train travellers. There is
no need to carry change for parking meters or bus fares as its one
simple transaction.
It costs just £2.70 for one day; £9.50 for seven
days; £38 for a month; £110 for three months and
£400 for a year.
There are discounts for Railcard holders and no restrictions
on the amount of bus travel you can make. People can use the
tickets for nearly all services operating in Peterborough.
