Cambridgeshire’s biggest bus operator, Stagecoach East has introduced a major new online facility, allowing customers to get a discount by buying bundles of tickets at the same time on its app.
The Multi-Buy facility allows customers to purchase bundles of three, five or 10 DayRiders, giving savings of 10%, 20% or 30% on the total cost.
The Multi‑Buy bundles are available exclusively through the Stagecoach App, enabling local people to plan, track and buy their travel in advance, with the aim of making journeys simpler.
The tickets remain valid for 12 months, so customers can enjoy unlimited travel all day. Buying through the Stagecoach App also means speedier boarding, helping local buses get to their destinations on time, and reduces the number of paper tickets required, to help improve the local environment.
Darren Roe, Managing Director of Stagecoach East said: “Everyone is aware of the recent fuel-price inflation, and our customers are telling us that value for money matters more than ever – they want to be savvy about how they spend their money. We are committed to making every day travel as affordable and straightforward as possible.
“Multi‑Buy is a simple, flexible way for people to save on the journeys they rely on, with bundles that offer clear, upfront discounts and tickets that stay valid for 12 months.
“We know many households are watching their spending and making careful choices. By offering cheaper DayRider bundles through the Stagecoach App, we’re giving people more control, to plan ahead, cut costs and travel with confidence.
“Planning for the future is one of our core values, and that means investing in technology and products that genuinely support our communities. Multi‑Buy is another step in making bus travel easier, better value and a practical alternative to taking the car.”
