Pound to Town fares come to Katesgrove on August 1st when Reading Buses introduce their discounted short hop fare from Whitley street into town.
Liberal Democrat councillors have been campaigning for inner zone fares for over 4 years to encourage people to use the bus rather than use their cars.
Katesgrove councillor Warren Swaine said: "I brought up the issue of short didtance fares during my very first board meeting on Reading Buses and was met with a very hostile reaction from Tony Page. I'm pleased to see that my lobbying and pressure will benefit local residents."
