Nottinghamshire bus users have welcomed the announcement of a new price change announced by the Government that will see journey prices capped temporarily at £2
On Saturday, September 3, the transport secretary confirmed the change for single bus journeys which will take place initially from January to March, 2023. and is backed up by £60 million of funding.
Amid the worsening cost of living crisis, it is hoped that the move will help passengers with travel costs for work, education, shopping and medical treatments over the coming months. The average single fare for a three-mile journey is estimated at over £2.80, meaning that the new fare will save passengers almost 30% of the price every time they travel.
