What are short hop tickets and where are the short hop zones?

Created by Luke Taylor, Modified on Tue, 2 Jul at 11:26 AM by Luke Taylor

Our short hop tickets are reduced-price tickets for small journeys made within our short hop zones.


The short hop tickets are available at the ticket vending machine. Once you select the short hop ticket on the machine, the screen will display a note which gives further details about the tram stops which are covered.


The short hop tickets last for 20 minutes but are only valid in one direction away from the point of purchase. You must ensure that you are only travelling in the zone as detailed on the ticket you have purchased. If you're unsure which stops this includes, you can refer to the route map which is above the ticket machine's screen.


You can also pay for your short hop ticket via Nottingham Contactless. You can scan a payment card or contactless payment device at the start and end of your journey within our short-hop zones and you'll be charged the reduced short-hop price.
