Bus journeys across the Liverpool City Region are set to be cut to just £2 under proposals announced by Mayor Steve Rotheram today.
The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority is proposing to introduce a £2 single adult fare for all bus services in the city region. If agreed, some passengers would see a saving of up to 13% in the cost of a single journey regardless of which service they use, in a bid to do away with the hassle and confusion of the region’s complex ticketing system.
The Mayor has also said that young people should continue to benefit from all day unlimited travel on bus by freezing the MyTicket at £2.20 until 2025. Plans are also in the works to simplify the region’s wider ticketing system under a ‘tap and go system’ that would include daily fare caps to try and guarantee that passengers always pay the cheapest fare.
