You fancy a day-out and don't want the hassle of driving in traffic. You'd like to travel by public transport - it's less hassle and better for the environment. But completing the last few miles between the train station and your final destination can be expensive if you use taxis.

PLUSBUS makes completing your journey easy and great value. It gives you unlimited bus travel around the urban area of your rail destination town, at a discount price. You can hop on any participating buses services to get to your destination. It's valid all day so you can hop-on & off buses as much as you like!

If you're planning on a visit to Liverpool - European Capital of Culture 2008, a PLUSBUS ticket is a must-buy for travelling around the city between the many events and exhibitions. Liverpool PLUSBUS is just £3 a day (£1.50 child; £2 with Railcard discount).
