£2 bus fare cap to increase to £3 – Transport Focus comment

28 October 2024

Commenting on the £2 bus fare cap increasing to £3 in the forthcoming Budget, Transport Focus director David Sidebottom said:

“We know that bus passengers want simpler, better value for money fares and buses provide a lifeline for so many people up and down the country. Our research shows the fare cap is having a big impact in helping more people get around by bus.

“While no one likes a fare rise, the announcement of a new £3 cap on bus fares will provide welcome certainty for many people who are struggling and worried about the cost of travel.”

Background

Transport Focus surveyed passengers to understand the impact of the existing fare cap.
