Day and weekly tickets will remain at their current price (\u00a33.50 and \u00a315 respectively) when the new structure is introduced from 5<sup>th<\/sup> May with others seeing a small decrease or increase.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the fare changes, Phil Hewitt, Chief Executive of Tramlink Nottingham, said: \u201cDuring the review we took into account customer feedback and as a result we\u2019ve replaced the \u00a32.50 peak time single fare and the \u00a31.90 standard single fare with a \u00a32 single ticket that\u2019s valid any time of the day. We worked hard on the new fare structure for customers and are delighted to be able to hold the prices on our most popular tickets &#8211; despite making a significant investment in the network. We\u2019ve started a major refurbishment of the existing tram fleet, begun a series of projects to upgrade NET Line One and introduced smart new uniforms for staff across the network.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There will be increases to the child day ticket (now \u00a32) and tickets purchased through PayPoint will also see rises. An adult weekly ticket purchased this way will now be \u00a316, an adult 30 day ticket \u00a348 and the Child weekly ticket will increase to \u00a38.<\/p>\n<p>Amongst the fares being frozen are the aforementioned day and weekly tickets purchased on board the tram, the child single fare (\u00a31) and the adult 10 trip ticket purchased from PayPoint outlets (\u00a317).<\/p>\n<p>It has also been decided to remove the peak and off peak single fares (currently \u00a32.50 and \u00a31.90) and replace them with a flat single fare valid at all times which will be \u00a32 (so an increase for off peak passengers but a significant decrease for peak travellers).<\/p>\n<p>It is also planned that in the future tram users will be able to purchase monthly tickets through the website and these will cost \u00a345 (adults) and \u00a322.50 (children). These tickets will also be available at the new City Centre NET shop due to open this summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following a comprehensive review of fares on Nottingham Express Transit a new fare structure has been announced with many of tickets remaining at current levels although there will also be some increases.
