	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2024 answer text <p>In the Budget on 30 October, the government confirmed it will invest over £150 million to introduce a new £3 cap on single bus fares in England outside London from 1 January until 31 December 2025. Under the plans of the previous administration, the current £2 cap on bus fares had been due to expire on 31 December 2024, and prior to the Budget, there was no further funding available to maintain the cap beyond this point.</p><p></p><p>The published interim evaluation of the £2 fare cap showed that patronage continued to recover following the COVID 19 pandemic and early evidence from the first two months of the scheme suggested the £2 fare cap may be playing a role in this recovery. The final evaluation of the £2 fare cap, including a further assessment of its impact on patronage will be published in due course.</p> answering member constituency Wakefield and Rothwell answering member printed Simon Lightwood question first answered 11/12/2024 10:29:07 answering member 4943 label Biography information for Simon Lightwood
