Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that the current £2 bus fare cap will rise to £3 in England as part of the Autumn Budget plans, with the increase aimed at enhancing bus services and funding.
The government's new cap on bus fares, covering most journeys, will ensure no fares exceed £3 by the end of 2025, with new funding allocated to improve services.
Despite the cap, fares in London will remain lower than the national average, with the Transport for London fare fixed at £1.75, whereas local authorities can establish their own fare schemes.
The forthcoming Buses Bill aims to standardize bus services across England, reducing disparities in service quality and pricing, and will be a vital part of the government’s efforts to enhance public transport.
