£2 bus fare cap to apply to these routes in Newcastle and around North East

Bus journey fares across the North East will be capped at £2 for a single ticket for three months from the start of 2023.

The Department for Transport announced in September that the Government will subsidise bus tickets across England from January 1 2023 to March 31, 2023 so they can be capped at £2 for a single journey.

"The move will help passengers with travel costs for work, education, shopping and medical treatments over the winter months while they are facing pressures from the rising cost of living," the Department for Transport says.
