POST-PANDEMIC PASSENGER NUMBERS LEVEL OUT AT 45M A YEAR
BUS passenger journeys in Nottingham are showing no sign of returning to pre-Covid levels as more people choose to work from home and study online long-term.
David Astill, managing director of Nottingham City Transport (NCT), says the smaller number of passenger journeys by bus has reached a "new normal".
Between April 2018 and March 2019, before the pandemic, NCT's buses carried 49.1m passengers, compared to 48.8m the year before. Passenger journeys now sit at around 45m per year, averaging 94 per cent of pre-Covid levels, according to the latest figures.
