Beat the crunch with bus vouchers
Posted on 03/01/2009
Highways, Transportation & Waste Management
Bus users can save money during December with discounted travel vouchers.
Voucher booklets are currently being distributed to residents along the applicable bus routes.
The vouchers are available to redeem on services around Ashby de la Zouch Coalville, Hinckley, Loughborough, Lutterworth, Market Harborough, Melton Mowbray and many more places.
The leaflets contain vouchers that when handed to the driver allow passengers to travel for just £1 on a single journey, from December 1 to 23.
As well as the money-saving vouchers, the leaflets also contain a loyalty card. When this is sent back with three valid bus tickets it entitles the holder to a free mini shopper set, consisting of a reusable bag and a trolley coin keyring.
It also includes entry into a free prize draw with High Street vouchers and local attractions tickets up for grabs, perfect Christmas presents for all the family.
Nicholas Rushton, Deputy Leader of the County Council with responsibility for Highways and Transportation, said: “At this time of year when the roads are busy with commuters and shoppers it is an ideal time for people to take advantage of the travel vouchers and use the bus.”
“Buses are not only good value, but they are a more environmentally friendly way to travel than by car.”
The prize draw includes High Street Vouchers, a Centrebus Monthly Network ticket, family tickets for Snibston, Twycross Zoo and Bosworth Battlefield and Thornton’s chocolates.
As well as being distributed to households, vouchers can be obtained by calling 0116 305 8777 or e-mailing passengertransport@leics.gov.uk
