The Department for Transport regularly engages with Local Transport Authorities and bus operators. Officials contacted local government representatives, including Devon County Council, on Friday 17 February to discuss the Government’s extension to the Bus Recovery Grant and the £2 Bus Fare Cap. We will continue to engage with the sector as we deliver the ambitions set out in the National Bus Strategy.
