Louise Haigh stated that buses are 'the lifeblood of communities, but the system is broken.' This highlights the urgent need for reform in public transport funding.
The government has rolled out 1 billion in funding to implement London-style bus services nationwide, aiming to resolve long-standing inconsistencies in transport funding.
With 712 million allocated to local authorities and 243 million for bus operators, the investment seeks to enhance public transport services for communities across the UK.
Haigh noted a commitment to maintain the current fare bus cap of 3 beyond 2025 while exploring more targeted approaches to improve funding.
