Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will ensure that any future review of the bus fare cap will take account of (a) young people and (b) low paid workers.

On Monday 28 October, the Prime Minister confirmed the government will introduce a new £3 cap on single bus fares from 1 January 2025 until the end of 2025. Moving forward, the government will also explore more targeted options that deliver value for money to the taxpayer, to ensure affordable bus travel is always available for the groups who need it the most - such as young people.
