Cap On Single Bus Fares Raised …

[naomi24]

.... from £2 to £3, Keir Starmer has announced.   Not a lot you might think but it's £10 plus per week extra for workers going to and from their jobs, not to mention the cost to those living in rural areas who have no choice but to use buses.   He's certainly looking after the 'working man'!

//The desperation of the soundly-rejected Tories (authors of the cost of living crisis) to smear the current Government is amazing.//

Ah so now you like labour!

We are not having to look very hard though are we, Sir TTK and Thieves are giving it to us on a plate along with their other equally useless minsters.

And anyway I didnt vote Tory.

You are merely having you attention diverted from the real rise in transport costs. This little snippet was leaked in advance so that the thieving robber Reeves can announce huge rises in fuel duty, vehicle tax rises, charges for travelling on the almost useless roads with £££s per mile taxes and possibly a tax on any home that has off road parking. All part of the "green policy"   ...   the green with envy policy that is.

Well put Togo.

Sorry, hadn't seen this OP.  Just raised it in an answer 'Keir Starmer Suffers drop in popularity'.  Apologies, should read all posts before answering.

The Tories were going to end the £2 cap at the end of December. Of course we don't know what they would have replaced it with, or if they would have further extended it

an additional problem is, that the bus operators treated the "cap" as a flat fare, meaning journeys that were less than £2 before, were levelled up.

will the £3 "cap" be similarly treated as a minimum as well as a maximum?
