People in Basingstoke can enjoy a day of free bus travel.
Stagecoach has given residents the chance to hop on and off buses without paying on Saturday, November 1, the last Saturday of the half term.
This is part of their initiative to encourage exploration within the town, allowing individuals and families to visit local shops and attractions at no cost.
James O’Neill, commercial director at Stagecoach South, said: "We’re delighted to invite Basingstoke residents to enjoy a day of free travel.
"It’s our way of giving something back to the community and encouraging everyone to make the most of what the town has to offer. Whether that’s visiting local attractions, shopping locally, or simply spending time with family and friends."

Besides the free travel, residents can also save money by opting for other discounted ticket bundles.
The Basingstoke DayRider costs £5.50 and will be free on November 1.
