Shabana has welcomed plans to bring in a £2 bus fare cap from January next year.
Millions of people will save a third on bus travel as a cap on single bus tickets at £2 will be introduced next year.
To help with the cost of living and give people the breathing space they need, passengers will benefit from cheaper fares from January for the rest of the year– with maximum fares slashed by a third.
Buses are a lifeline for communities, providing essential routes into work, training and education as well as childcare, health care and leisure. The last £2 fare cap saw an estimated 30 million more journeys taken by bus in just 10 months.
Backed by £400 million extra funding, the cap on fares outside of London will help millions of people across the country access affordable bus travel more easily, breaking down barriers to travel for people struggling with the cost of living, opening up opportunities and boosting local economies.
