£2 bus fare extension begins today

01 April 2023

Today the £2 bus fare cap extension begins, meaning that passengers can use the scheme up until 30 June.

David Sidebottom, director at the independent watchdog Transport Focus, said:

“We know that bus passengers want simpler, better value for money fares. In our survey, seven per cent of people said they were using the bus more due to the capped fare.

“The extension of the £2 fare bus fare is a welcome step to help attract passengers back on board and encourage non-users to give bus a go.”
