The Prime Minister has said the current subsidised £2 bus fares will increase to £3. 50% is quite a hike, but I don't think the scheme was ever intended to last as long as it has.
Not sure if any bus services offer the option to pre-pay so you can get your future journeys at the current rate, a bit like buying stamps before the prices go up?I guess that only applies to areas that do not have a regional Mayor.In West Yorkshire, the £2 limit stays until March 2025, hopefully new funding will be found and a new limit will be set then.I assume that means that the Mayors fund their own regional transport policies, it makes it all rather complicated.
