NCT buses boss wants to stay ‘well away’ from significant changes to operations under new East Midlands authority
By Joseph Locker Verified| Gedling Eye Verified The boss of Nottingham City Transport (NCT) says he wants to stay “well away” from any changes in the way the bus company operates under the new East Midlands Combined County Authority. Under some regional mayoral councils, such as in Liverpool, bus services operate under what’s known as a franchising model. These models are used because many bus services in the UK are today run under a private operator on a-for-profit basis.
‘THE NEW NORMAL’: NCT boss says bus passenger journeys trailing off as people opt to work from home and study online
By Joseph Locker Verified| Gedling Eye Verified Bus passenger journeys in Notts 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 have reached a “new normal” following the pandemic. Between April 2018 and March 2019, before the pandemic, NCT’s buses carried 49.1m passengers, compared to 48.8m the year before.
