MOREBUS is offering half-price travel to passengers this weekend.

Anyone who buys a Dayrider ticket on Sunday will get half-price travel when they use the operator’s mobile ticking app, Clickit2Ride, to purchase their ticket.

September 22 marks World Car Free Day which is an initiative aimed at easing congestion and to encourage motorists to give up their cars for the day.

Morebus managing director Andrew Wickham said: “Our bus fleet is one of the newest and cleanest in the region. Over recent years, we have introduced a large number of brand new buses to operate our services. Many of these sport the very latest Euro 6 engine - releasing fewer emissions than the average new diesel car.

He added: “World Car Free Day ties in perfectly with what we are trying to achieve in. Buses provide the perfect and affordable solution to reducing air pollution, so we’re proud to have invested millions of pounds in improving the comfort and reliability of our services here.”
