Single bus fares across England will be capped at £2 starting in January, according to an announcement by Andy Burnham. This new nationwide measure replaces the current £3 fare cap, which was previously scheduled to remain in place until the end of March 2027.
The policy is supported by £454 million in funding. To secure this budget, £400 million has been reallocated from international climate finance investments, which will now be transitioned into a loan-based model.
