Bus
Bus usage in Nottingham is increasing. Nottingham City Transport (NCT) operate the majority of bus services in the city. NCT was the first transport operator in the UK to use RFID technology for its EasyRider bus passes, introduced in 2000.
Trent Barton operate some local services around Nottingham and to other towns such as Mansfield, Derby and even Manchester using the Transpeak service which runs through the Peak District.
The two operators are also frequent winners of the National Bus Operator of the Year award. Also a growing company: yourbus. NCT and Trent Barton have a good relationship and routes are designed so they are not competing against each other. Using a Kangaroo day ticket makes it possible to use buses from both operators in a single day.
There are two bus stations in the city centre. The Broadmarsh bus station in the Westfield Broadmarsh centre and Victoria bus station behind the Victoria Centre.
