On 17 February, we announced that we will provide up to £75 million to extend the £2 bus fare cap until 30 June 2023</p><p> </p><p>This takes total Government funding to over £2 billion in emergency and recovery funding to Local Transport Authorities and bus operators since March 2020, of which Suffolk County Council has been allocated over £5 million. This is in addition to the funding we have provided directly to bus operators to maintain bus services through this route.</p><p> </p><p>Suffolk County Council has also been allocated £824,737 in capacity and capability funding for bus service improvements for the period 2021/22 to 2024/25.
