At the Budget we announced more than £3 billion of spend on buses over this Parliament which includes £1.2 billion funding for bus transformation deals; £525m to deliver zero emission buses (of which £355m is new funding announced at the Budget); £1.5 billion Covid support to maintain service levels until next April; and, over £500m from the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements that will directly fund bus infrastructure.
