North Lancashire bus passengers can benefit from reduced fares from now, including single ticket bus journeys for just £1 after 7pm.
From now, the value bus fares will be available on most Lancashire bus services for evenings out and weekend travel.
For evening travel, it will cost just £1 for a single trip after 7pm, 7 days a week.
Also, Lancashire residents can get a new Weekender ticket, buy Saturday to get Sunday free.
Funded by HM Government in support of Lancashire County Council's Bus Service Improvement Plan, these discounted tickets will be available until at least March 2025.
This is in addition to the Department for Transport’s fares initiative of three months of single bus fares for no more than £2 for a single journey until 31 March 2023.
It forms part of Lancashire County Council's Bus Services Improvement Plan, which has received DfT funding of £34.1m for a range of measures to make buses better.
County Councillor Rupert Swarbrick, cabinet member for highways and transport for Lancashire County Council said: "As well as providing some great cost savings for our residents at a time they need it most, we hope these new discounted tickets will encourage leisure travel at evenings and weekends, giving local businesses a welcome boost.
"We want to make Lancashire services more frequent, reliable and affordable, with better information for passengers and a simpler system of fares which is easier to understand.
"We are working with local bus operators to create a network of buses which more people use for regular journeys.
"This new offer will run alongside the DfT's £2 flat fares initiative, so that passengers can benefit from discounted tickets in the daytime and even further discounts for off peak travel at evenings and weekends."
