Public Transport: Fares
(asked on 25th January 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of recent trends in the cost of bus and rail travel.
This question was answered on 28th January 2016
We have capped regulated rail fares at the level of the Retail Price Index (RPI) for two years running, and will continue to do so for the life of this parliament.
The bus market outside London is deregulated and decisions regarding setting the level of fares, is primarily a commercial matter for bus operators.
