uin	221682
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2019 answer text <p>Our ambition is to ensure that across regional and urban commuter areas smart ticketing can deliver the kind of pay-as-you-go (PAYG) structure that is used in London, to make journeys easier and smoother for passengers.</p><p> </p><p>Earlier this month I launched a consultation to seek views on how PAYG travel areas could work, the options for changing fares to complement PAYG and the places in the South-East that could be suitable for PAYG, as part of our wider ambition to roll out PAYG. We have also allocated £150m to Transport for the North to deliver their multi-modal smart ticketing programme, which includes PAYG.</p><p> </p><p>The current consultation considers the most appropriate technology for PAYG, but notes that: a) Oyster is built to support a limited number of fares and zones, and so is less suitable further away from London; and b) that it has limited scope to be expanded further without significant modification.</p><p> </p><p>Transport in Wales is a devolved matter.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 22/02/2019 13:49:22 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
