'Scrapping fare cap will hit rural services'
May 22, 2025
|Central Somerset Gazette
LIBERAL Democrat MP for Glastonbury and Somerton, Sarah Dyke, has called on the Labour Government to urgently protect the national bus fare cap and commit to greater investment in local bus services, warning that failure to do so will hit rural communities the hardest.
-
The warning follows reports that Transport Minister Heidi Alexander has refused to guarantee the continuation of the fare cap, which is currently set at £2 for a single ticket.
The Government recently raised the cap to £3, with further changes now being considered that could scrap the cap altogether in favour of a so-called “targeted” scheme.
