star this property answer text <p>The bus market outside London is deregulated, with the vast majority of services provided on a commercial basis by private sector bus operators. Decisions on the level of fares is a commercial one for individual bus operators.</p><p> </p><p>The Department’s own analysis suggests that the 25% reduction in fuel price earlier this year could translate into around a 4.25% reduction overall in bus industry costs. However, most large bus operators, who between them provide the majority of services outside London, have fuel hedging arrangements in place, which mean that, in the short term, lower fuel prices do not translate into lower costs thus limiting their ability to reduce fares.</p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The Department for Transport does not currently have any formal plans in place to carry out a detailed assessment of trends in the level of the fuel efficiency of buses. We have however supported industry to create a new Low Emission Bus accreditation, which will help introduce buses with lower emissions and better fuel efficiency, to the UK bus fleet. Additionally, the Government will fund the purchase of over 300 fuel efficient Low Emission Buses under this accreditation, and will monitor their fuel efficiency.</p><p> </p> more like this
