Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to support the bus industry following the end of emergency funding measures.

Following negotiations, over £150m is to be made available to local transport providers to continue supporting the sector as we build back better following the Covid-19 pandemic. The funding will support bus operators and local authorities responsible for bus and light rail services from April until October. This is alongside the £29m uplift to the Bus Recovery Grant announced earlier this year.
