Bus passengers could soon be travelling across Greater Manchester for no more than £2 a ticket in a new era for public transport, it will be announced today.
Heralded by Mayor Andy Burnham as a ‘blueprint for city-regions’, the new charging system caps adult fares for a single journey at £2, while children pay no more than £1.
It means passengers could finally be freed from a ‘fragmented’ system involving more than 830 services run by 30 operators with 150 different ticket types.
