A new off-peak daysaver for 4 pounds (down from 4.20 now)

"Upgrade" your off-peak daysaver by adding children for just a pound each (ie adult + child = 5 pounds)

Retain the popular £1 city hop and £8 family daysaver

In part responding to drivers' feedback, the 1.90 short hop is frozen, and becomes off-peak only; and there will be just one child fare of 1.15 at all times (ie no child short hop). Off-peak is defined as per OAPs: everything after 0930, and all day weekends

Peak daysaver increasing to £4.40, Single to £2.30, travelcards up 50p

NX potentially going greener......

we're bidding for several million pounds of funding for four innovations:
Retro-fitting 200 older buses with 'traps' which reduce local air pollution

Ensuring every new bus we buy from now on is a "smart electric", which is clever technology on a diesel engine to reduce fuel use and emissions

Buying 60 fully electric buses (ie they don't run on diesel at all) for use in the Black Country and Birmingham

Buying 20 hydrogen fuel cell buses to run in Solihull and Birmingham

We'll find out in a few months if this funding bid has been successful, and I'll keep everyone posted on when to look out for these future technologies
