New £2 bus fares branded 'a big help' amid cost of living crisis

New £2 bus fares have been brought in across the Liverpool City Region to battle the cost of living crisis.

Sunday saw the start of a historic move to cap all single bus fares on any routes around the city region. Earlier this year, Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram announced that his combined authority would be capping single bus journeys in the region at a maximum of £2 in a bid to help residents who are being hit hard by the cost of living crisis.
