PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Bus Services: Fares (5 February 2024)

In addition to the nearly £600 million the Government is providing to cap single bus fares at £2 on over 5,000 routes in England outside London until the end of 2024, the Government is also providing over £2 billion to local transport authorities to deliver their Bus Service Improvement Plans (BSIPs). Every local transport authority in England outside London has been allocated BSIP funding, which can be used to support any bus service improvements that the local authority - working with bus operators - know their community needs. This could include initiatives to introduce lower bus fares.
