Written Question
Bus Services: Fares
Monday 7th July 2025

Asked by: Tom Gordon (Liberal Democrat - Harrogate and Knaresborough)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make it her policy to ensure bus fares do not increase above the rate of inflation following the bus fare cap increase.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

On 1 January, the government introduced a £3 cap on single bus fares in England outside London until 31 December 2025. As part of the Spending Review, the government announced further funding to extend the £3 cap to March 2027. This will ensure millions of people can continue to access affordable bus fares and better opportunities all over the country.

The current terms and conditions for the £3 cap already require operators to demonstrate that they have not raised fares any higher than inflation.

Written Question
Bus Services: Fares
Monday 7th July 2025

Asked by: Tom Gordon (Liberal Democrat - Harrogate and Knaresborough)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the bus fare cap increase on passenger numbers.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

The government is investing over £150 million to deliver the new £3 cap on single bus fares in England outside London from 1 January until 31 December 2025 to help keep bus fares affordable, and as part of the Spending Review, we announced further funding to extend the £3 cap to March 2027.

Under the plans of the previous administration, the £2 cap on bus fares had been due to expire on 31 December 2024, and prior to the Budget, there was no further funding available to maintain a cap on bus fares beyond this point.

The final monitoring and evaluation report into the impact of the £2 bus fare cap was published on 12 February. An evaluation of the £3 fare cap is due to be commissioned shortly.
