THE city's tram operator has frozen the cost of some of its tickets.
Day tickets and week tickets will remain at £3.50 and £15 respectively, while customers buying a single fare at peak times will see a price cut.
Phil Hewitt, chief executive of Tramlink Nottingham, said: "During [a] review we took into account customer feedback and as a result we've replaced the £2.50 peak time single fare and the £1.90 standard single fare with a £2 single ticket that's valid any time of the day.
"We worked hard on the new fare structure for customers and are delighted to be able to hold the prices on our most popular tickets - despite making a significant investment in the network.
"We've started a major refurbishment of the existing tram fleet, begun a series of projects to upgrade NET Line One and introduced smart new uniforms for staff across the network."
The fare changes will be introduced on May 5 and though many tram ticket prices will be maintained at current levels, others are scheduled to increase.
The prices of tickets bought at Paypoints will rise. An adult 30-day ticket will cost £48, up from £42. The adult ten-trip ticket will be held at £17, however the Paypoint Child week ticket will rise to £8.
There are no changes to any Kangaroo tickets that can be used on trams, buses and trains in Nottingham.
"Fare increases are never introduced lightly, but some of the changes, particularly tickets purchased through Paypoint, were necessary to reflect the cost incurred by this payment," added Mr Hewitt. said.
"However, monthly NET tickets will soon be available for purchase through our website, thetram.net, priced at £45 for adults and £22.50 for children, and from our new city centre shop that's due to open in the summer."
