Nottinghamshire's transport chief hopes that an on demand bus service will be expanded
Nottinghamshire's transport chief hopes that an on demand bus service will be expanded to areas across the county following a trial in dozens of villages. 'Nottsbus On Demand' allows passengers to select a pick-up and drop-off point before being matched up with the nearest bus.
Councillor Neil Clarke, the cabinet member for transport and environment at Nottinghamshire County Council, said he now wants to see the on demand service in other areas. He said: "The early signs are that since it was introduced four months ago, the feedback has been excellent and the service is being very well used.
"I would like to see this expanded further out across the county and early signs are that this can be the case if we can get additional funding and that's why we are lobbying government at the moment. Seeing buses running along empty is very frustrating because we want to encourage people to get out of their cars and to use buses.
Passengers can book their journeys either by using the 'Nottsbus On Demand' app or by calling the service. Money for the project came from a round of government funding which saw Nottinghamshire being given £1.5 million.
