Get out and see Peterborough’s sights by bus this English Tourism Week

Peterborough’s largest bus operator is encouraging local residents to get out and explore the great sights that make the region such a hot-spot for tourism.

Peterborough is home to some of the most famous and interesting destinations in the UK, and they are easy to access at a great price by bus. With a DayRider, a group of five can now travel for just £2.20 each for the full day, and a group of three for just £2.67 each in a Town Zone. Also, bus travel is still covered by the government’s £2.00 single fare cap.
