Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of increasing bus fares on customers.

The previous bus fare cap was unfunded beyond 2024. The Government is stepping in and investing over £150 million to ensure single bus fares in England outside London remain capped at £3 throughout 2025. The cap ensures that millions can continue to travel for less and access better opportunities with potential savings of up to 80% on some routes.
