BBC News - Bus £2 fare cap extended
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-65616182

Why is this #subsidy of #busfares limited to the Bus sector and not extended to #lightrail ? Is it because the bus sector is predominantly run by the #privatesector while light rail in Edinburgh, Newcastle, Blackpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Nottingham, and Glasgow subway are run by the local government? Why is no one questioning this market distortion and unfair subsidy of the private sector? #ToryCorruption

Since 1 Jan 2023 in the UK many single bus fares outside of London have been capped at £2 for a single fare - making 2 singles cheaper than a single return in a lot of cases.

This was due to end on 30 June but the cap has now been extended until 31 October 2023.

From November the cap will be increased to £2.50 where it will remain for 12 months before being reviewed.

RT @greenmattbfd: 🚍 A £2 cap on #busfares is a great start but we need to go further

💺 The cap needs to be permanent and lower

🚏 And cheap fares are useless if services are cut!
