Reading Buses marketing and PR executive Tom Broadfoot said: “We have listened to customers to give the growing group of hybrid and remote workers control over how they use their tickets – and get the travel they have paid for.
“Our tickets now mean office workers should never have the feeling of having lost out on what they have paid for. So whether on a bus for work, a night out with friends or to go shopping, we are aiming to give customers a ticket that fits their life.”
Robert Williams, Reading Buses Chief Executive Officer, added: “The new products allow customers total flexibility on their travel. Customers can pick the days they travel.
“They will save money, at least 20%, and often more.
“They will only pay for the days they want – no expiry, no catches.”
