Starmer insisted that raising the bus fare cap from £2 to £3 is a necessary part of fixing public finances, emphasizing that working people understand these difficult decisions.
In a pre-budget speech, Starmer highlighted the end of funding for the £2 bus fare cap and announced plans for a £3 cap until the end of 2025.
Despite pressure from Labour mayors to retain the £2 fare, Starmer emphasized that the funding ran out in 2024, necessitating an increase to £3.
Starmer argued that working people would ultimately appreciate tough economic decisions, stressing that they should be the priority when addressing economic stability.
