Press Release Summary = Cheaper and easier public transport on offer to new and returning students
Press Release Body = Students looking for a cheap and easy way to get around town from the start of the new term are being offered a way to join up their bus and train journeys with a scheme called PLUSBUS.
The scheme provides students with unlimited local bus travel when they buy a PLUSBUS ticket in addition to their train travel.
For students who are regularly travelling by train and bus PLUSBUS offers them a way to save money with some tickets priced as low as £1. Students who have a railcard can also save one-third off the cost of their PLUSBUS ticket.
All bus trips for the rest of the day in the local zone are free and all students have to do is show their PLUSBUS ticket when they get on the bus.
Jonathan Radley, Journey Solutions' Commercial Director said: "PLUSBUS is a cheap and convenient alternative for students' travel and makes it easy to buy all your travel at one time. It's a great way to get around the area you are studying in or to explore nearby towns and cities. Because it's great value and convenient, PLUSBUS is the perfect solution for students."
The scheme means students who travel by train and bus to University don't have to worry about trying to find a parking spot, having to walk from the train station or finding change for the bus.
PLUSBUS tickets are also valid until 2am the day after train travel enabling them to get home safely after a night out.
More than 200 areas across Britain are covered by PLUSBUS, allowing students travelling home to visit friends or family to get around their home town or city.
PLUSBUS tickets can either be bought on the day of travel or in advance. PLUSBUS season tickets are also available to add to train season tickets of a week, a month, three months or even a year's duration.
PLUSBUS is designed to make it easier to join up bus and train journeys and is only available when students buy a train ticket.
