Only the Labour party has a serious, sustainable plan to provide better bus services across the country, with affordable fares and lifeline services where people need them most, including in rural areas. The Government’s £3 bus fare cap is helping passengers save money on everyday journeys, which is why we have extended it until March next year. Alongside that, we have announced £3 billion in multi-year bus funding allocations, to give local authorities the flexibility to set fares below £3 where they choose to.
