Bus fares are going up in Nottingham - with some ticket prices rising by as much as 10%. The changes in fares will come into force on 1 August.
Nottingham City Transport (NCT) said the increases are necessary to meet rising fuel prices and the cost of higher drivers' wages.
The increases apply mainly to those who buy period tickets, but there are also increases for the night-rider ticket and other day passes.
One of the biggest increases affects the 28-day ticket - which will go up by around 10% to �33.
NCT said the fare increases will help them fund a recent 4.5% drivers' pay increase.
The company has also bought 16 new buses this year, costing more than �2m.
But NCT has pointed out its main city fare remains unchanged and this is the first fare increase for a year.
