Rail fares will be frozen until March next year under plans announced by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
She unveiled the freeze after describing soaring energy bills as a "humanitarian emergency".
The move is contained in the Government’s new Programme for Government, which laid out their legislative agenda for the next session. The First Minster warned that the current economic situation - rampant inflation and energy bills poised to rise by 80 per cent - as the "most severe cost crisis in our lifetimes".
