The Open University MK and Arriva and have joined together to offer great value travel ticket discounts to anyone using an Arriva Bus service to travel to and from work. There are a number of reasons why bus travel may prove a convenient option to you, not just the fact that car parking can be limited. Bus travel is also a great way of meeting your social responsibility objectives, reducing your carbon footprint and meeting your sustainability aspirations.
As a member of the Employer Travel Club we are able to offer bus travel discounts to all of our employees. The Scheme is open to everyone who is associated with The Open University MK, irrespective of where you work. The ETC can provide you with reduced bus travel costs not just to and from work, as the ticket can also be used for traveling around on your days off too. Furthermore up to two children can travel free with the ticket holder at weekends and on public holidays.
