You can travel by bus for free across Harborough on Saturdays from today until the end of November.

The Free Fares Super Saturdays scheme is a collaboration between Leicestershire County Council and bus operators, including Arriva, Stagecoach and Centrebus, aimed at encouraging people to travel by bus and helping them save money.

The scheme is being delivered on behalf of the Leicestershire Enhanced Bus Partnership, under its newly established Leicestershire Buses brand.

To qualify for free travel, passengers on the participating routes will need to start or end their journey in Leicestershire.

Councillor Ozzy O’Shea, county council cabinet member for transport, said: “The offer of free travel on Saturdays is a welcome support for people trying to save money ahead of the holiday season.

“It also means that Leicestershire residents have an alternative and cheaper way to stay connected as we head into the winter months.

“Choosing the bus is a great way to travel sustainably, and now people have the chance to hop on board for free.

“It will help encourage more people to think about choosing the bus more often – leading to a cleaner and greener Leicestershire.”
