Easyrider Smartcard
Easyrider is a convenient, prepaid smart travel card which provides discounted UNLIMITED all day travel across the NCT network.
We offer two main types of Easyrider card – Everyday and Anyday – to help customers save money if you travel frequently or just now and again. There are excellent discounts for Under 19s and we offer a 15% discount to students too!
If you use our South Notts 1 or Pathfinder 100 buses to/from the Outer Area, Easyrider Purse, may be useful for you.
