From today, the £2 bus fare cap in England will be extended until December 2024 thanks to savings from HS2

Buses are the most popular form of public transport so keeping bus fares down will benefit more people than HS2.

Our £2 bus fare cap has helped the cost of bus fares fall across England (outside London) by 7.4 per cent, whereas in Labour-run London and Wales and SNP-run Scotland, bus fares have increased.
