Get around by bus for £2
More than 130 bus operators across England have signed up to cap single bus fares at £2 from 1 January to 31 March 2023, thanks to £60 million in government funding. The cap could save people almost a third of the average bus fare outside London (£2.80), while in some rural areas bus tickets can reach over £5 for a single journey.
Visit your local bus operator website for more information about the £2 cap in your area. Further information on the cap and participating operators can be found here.
