Nichola Mallon has put a freeze on fares on the public transport network due to the ongoing cost of living crisis facing individuals and families across Northern Ireland.
The Infrastructure Minister says she recognises the impact that inflation is having on the cost of living for citizens as consumer prices rose on average by 5.5% in the 12 months to January 2022 with warnings that further increases are likely.
This action will go some way to alleviating further price hikes from hitting those struggling, Minister Mallon said.
