This August bank holiday make the most of the last of the summer days by exploring Leicestershire for less as local bus operator Arriva challenges customers to join a friend and enjoy a day out using a special weekend only 2 for 1 offer on Day Saver m-tickets.

For this weekend only, August 27 – 29, pairs will be able to travel on Arriva buses in and around Leicestershire for 24 hours with the special 2 for 1 m-ticket.

With this offer available to all Arriva is hoping to encourage people to head out into Melton Mowbray, perhaps visit Twinlakes for the day, or even take a short tour from the city centre into countryside.

The bus operator is also encouraging people to experience the comforts of bus travel, which includes relaxed seating, bus tracking on your phone, personalised timetables available on the Arriva app, and even free Wifi on selected routes.

Simon Mathieson said:

“What better way to enjoy your Bank Holiday weekend than with an exciting day of two for the price of one bus travel. We’re encouraging anyone who might not see the bus as their first form of transport to give it a go and be impressed by the comfort it offers.

“Why not visit Twycross Zoo or take a trip to the National Space Centre this weekend. There really is a lot to do and see in Leicestershire and we at Arriva are hoping this makes it that bit easier to get there and enjoy your day hassle free.

“The ticket is designed with our customers in mind to alleviate the stress of travel on a very busy weekend and is simple and easy to use. With the m-ticket you don’t need to print anything out and there is no change required – your ticket is literally in the palm of your hand.”

To enjoy the offer simply download the Arriva m-ticket app (available for android devices and iPhones) and purchase the Bank Holiday 2 for 1 day ticket* in advance. You can then activate it before travelling and present it to the driver when you board.

And, to make the journey even easier customers can also take advantage of the Arriva travel app, which enables them to identify the nearest bus stop, the time of the next bus and which bus to catch to reach their chosen destination. Downloaders of the app can also receive real time updates to avoid waiting around and ensuring they maximise every moment of their day.
