Bus users in Liverpool have praised a new ruling which could bode well for the future of the City Region's bus services.
Last week, a judge ruled in favour of Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham's plans to bring his region's buses back under public control. The re-regulated bus networks will afford local leaders with more control over fares, routes and services.
The Manchester Evening News, revealed today that the new plans would see fares capped at £2 for a single adult journey, while children will pay no more than £1. The move should also make a fragmented ticketing system much simpler, it is said.
