"The bus is the perfect solution for easing congestion and helping to improve air quality - so we're very happy to be offering it for free here on Mother's Day. "Our team is looking forward to seeing lots of mums out-and-about, being treated by their children on 30 March - and we hope they all have a brilliant day together."

£1 evening bus fare across Southampton and Hampshire extended for another year
An initiative to provide £1 evening bus travel for people across Southampton and Hampshire has been extended for another 12 months. The scheme, created by bus operator Bluestar, in partnership with Hampshire County Council and Southampton City Council, will allow people to access cheap travel on Bluestar routes from 6pm. Nikki Honer, Bluestar's head of communications, said: "We have worked with Southampton City Council and Hampshire County Council to secure funding through the Government's Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP), which has given us the opportunity to extend this offer. "If more people choose sustainable transport over the coming year, we could make a real impact in helping to improve the air quality in and around Southampton whilst providing a boost for the local hospitality industry." Councillor Eamonn Keogh, cabinet member for environment and transport, said: "The £1 evening fare offer will continue to make travelling into and around Southampton more affordable for people."
