The old bus fare cap of £2 meant it was £4 to go to Lancaster and back. Now the fare cap is £3 but instead of paying £6 there and back it’s cheaper to buy a Day Pass for £5.70. 57% price hike 😞 #busfarecap

Am I the only one that thinks £2 isn't even a very good bus fare cap in the first place? Sometimes I'm on it for like a mile, that's expensive.

In punishing users of Public Transport while protecting car users from the consequences of their choices you can't tell me this new Government is anything but a Tory Continuity Party

Shago 12.49 GMT Tories: England bus fare cap extension and price rise means '£10 aweek extra to get to work under Labour' Shadow transport secretary Helen Whately, the Conservative MP for Faversham and Mid Kent, has criticised Keir Starmer’s announcement that the bus fare cap in England was set to be extended for another year, but raised from £2 to £3. In a post to social media, Whately said: A4 That’s £10 a week extra to get to work under Labour. Clearly bus users don’t count as “working people” either. In December 2022 the then-Conservative government announced that the £2 bus fare cap in England “will run until 31 December 2024.” In his speech in Birmingham announcing the extension and price rise, the prime minister said “I do know how much this matters, particularly in rural communities where there’s heavy reliance on buses.”

@blepharon such an utterly stupid and self defeating policy, and Starmer arrogantly saying these are the 'tough decisions' he needs to make and for us all to shut up about it.

This policy is regressive in every sense of the word, and that's why he chose it.

Will any of this be addressed in this weeks' budget? Screwing over bus passengers suggests it won't

She told the Guardian: “I don’t believe social mobility in the UK is improving, in some ways, it feels like we are moving backwards. The cost of university education is higher than ever, meaning it’s becoming less accessible for those from lower-income backgrounds. “Additionally, while there have been efforts to improve vocational training and apprenticeships, these are still underfunded and undervalued compared to university. “Housing is another key issue. Unequal access to property ownership is a significant barrier to social mobility,” she said.

This is why people voted Green or Independent, we know Labour are going to lie to us, going to screw over 'Working People' and the other human beings who live on this island but are completely erased from the discussion

Smago 14.39 GMT The co-leader of the Green Party of England and Wales, Carla Denyer, has described the change in the bus fare cap in England from £2 to £3 as “the wrong approach”. She posted to social media to say: A4 The Labour government has confirmed a 50% rise in bus fares - a blow for everyone who relies on buses in the cost of living crisis. This is the wrong approach - government should be supporting our economy and environment by making it easier to get around without a car.
