Reduce bus fare cap to £1.75 for journeys less than 5 miles & freeze for 3 years
Review the national bus fare cap and reduce for shorter journeys. Currently the cap is £3 for a single, which means passengers may be paying £6 a day return. Reduce the cap for shorter journeys (under 5 miles) to £1.75 and freeze the current £3 limit for at least 3 years for journeys over 5 miles.
