MOREBUS is marking Clean Air Day by offering discounted travel to passengers.

In a bid to encourage drivers to leave their cars at home, dayrider tickets will cost just £1 on Thursday June 20 for those who use a special code on a ticketing app.

“This means people will be able to travel on any of our services for the whole of Clean Air Day for less than it costs to park for an hour in many of the region's car parks,” said Morebus communications head Nikki Honer.

She added: "We are committed to helping improve the quality of air we breathe here, and we have been working on this in a number of ways – including investing in a new fleet of greener vehicles.

“Bus travel has changed beyond recognition over recent years, and those who haven’t travelled with us recently will be amazed at the enhancements we’ve made. Our new buses are more frequent, have more comfortable seating, offer free Wifi and USB charging points for smartphone and tablet users, accept mobile phone payments, as well as contactless and they sport the very latest Euro 6 low emissions engines."
