From now until 31 March*, you’ll be able to get a bus across Southampton for £2.00 or less, meaning you can sit back and save money when you’re next in Carnival House.
*Now extended until 31 October 2023.
The Government is investing £60 million into a new scheme that will cap single bus fares. As well as saving one third off the average bus ticket, the scheme aims to reduce CO2 emissions by taking an estimated 2 million cars off the road across the UK.
Over 130 bus operators are taking part, including Bluestar and Unilink who operate across Southampton.
“We have long said that buses are the perfect solution to helping reduce congestion on our roads, and improving the air we breathe here in Southampton – so we’re delighted the government is echoing this way of thinking.
One bus has the potential to take up to 75 cars off the road, and we have ensured our vehicles are fitted with low emissions Euro 6 engines, to minimise their effects on the local environment.”
Andrew Wickham, Managing Director, Bluestar and Unilink
