The current Reddibus ten-penny flat rate experiment is proving a huge success.

The month-long experiment was intended to secure greater use of buses in Redditch and it has certainly done that.

Do not forget the scheme will be operating until December 5.

During the most part, the Development Corporation and Hereford and Worcestershire County Council will offset any operator losses incurred by Midland Red.

The town's Transport Steering Group is also planning further improvements for early next year.

The main proposal being to improve the bus service to areas not at present adequately covered.

And possibly including a minibus service for areas affected by the change in route of the R8 and R9 services.
