Ride to Albert Street
35–50 min.
Worth knowing
It is a stopping bus along the A45 through Sheldon and Yardley: 35 minutes at night and up to 50 in the afternoon peak, against ten on the train.
The other way it runs to Coventry, so check the destination on the front before boarding at stop K.
The day cap works only if every tap is the same card or device; a phone one day and the card the next are two separate fares.
