Bus users in Derby have been gifted an early Christmas present – cut-price tickets until the end of December.
Arriva is getting on board with the festive cheer by giving passengers who use its 1/1A/F1 and 20/22/24/26 services cheaper travel from now until December 30.
Weekly tickets have been slashed to just £10 from £14 and 4-weekly tickets to £35 from £52, allowing passengers the opportunity to travel more, for less, during the Christmas period.
Services 1/1A and F1 go from Alvaston to the city centre and the service also offers links to Derby's railway station, bus station, Pride Park and Boulton.
Meanwhile, the 20/22/24/26 buses links Derby with Oakwood via Chaddesden.
Raj Chander, general manager at Arriva Derby said: "Christmas is a time to be jolly, for getting together with loved ones, shopping, eating, and generally being merry.
"But whilst it's all in the name of fun, it can come as at an expense for many, so we wanted to give something back to our customers to help them get on board, and get in the spirit, without breaking the bank.
Arriva is also extending its Christmas cheer to NHS staff and university students too, by gifting them £1 single fares.
Concessionary bus pass holders, aren't excluded either, as they'll be able to pay £1 for a single ticket before their pass becomes valid at 9.30am. Students and NHS staff must show a valid ID card on board to obtain the offer.
Tickets are available to purchase across the length of the route on-board or via Arriva's m-ticket, which allows you to buy and store tickets on your mobile phone.
